A powerful collection of essays that detail the history, practices, reflections, and legacy of 50 years of Education for Ministry.
Celebrating its 50th anniversary, with 120,000 graduates worldwide, Education for Ministry (EfM) is a proven model of Biblical-based learning. Through its small group seminars, this model recognizes the profound importance of stories and storytelling, both individually and collectively; the critical work of building community; and the development of skillful disciples who can articulate their faith. Grounded in the Christian story based on the Bible, church history, and the sweep of religious thought, EfM provides a foundation upon which to reflect theologically on today's culture. As Bishop Phoebe Roaf says in her essay, "EfM has helped me become comfortable discussing my faith with people from various backgrounds and identifying how God was present in the events of everyday life." This carefully curated collection of essays from the many contributors, participants, and leaders since its inception to present day share how their lives have been touched and formed by this groundbreaking program. Authors include James F. Turrell, Karen Meridith, Edward de Bary, Katie Nakamura Rengers, Richard Brewer, Termain Hicks, Anne Moats Williams, and many more. EfM's executive director Kevin Goodman summarizes, "As we move into the next 50 years, now more than ever, we are called to meet and understand people where they are and build community in Jesus's name."
