NEW! ONLINE COURSE with Julie Lytle begins Feb. 12
Fully Online and Fully Relevant to Any Ministry Setting or Role
|
|
"Story-Keeping, Story-Sharing, and Story-Making: Congregational Leadership and Faith Formation"
|
The Baptismal Covenant invites Christians to participate in the three-fold practice of Story-Keeping (collecting and maintaining the wisdom of a community), Story-Sharing (listening to another’s experience and offering our own) and Story-Making (adding to the communal story by putting faith/ beliefs into action).
|
|
Today, a significant portion of the U.S. population does not know the Christian story. In this course, leaders will learn to read their context/s (generational, cultural, ecclesial); to assess individual and communal needs; and to develop skills in the use of appropriate story-sharing methods and media for evangelization and faith formation.
WHEN:
Tuesdays, beginning Feb. 12, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Central)
WHERE:
Anywhere you can connect to the internet.

For Academic Credit • CEUs • Enrichment

Patrick Burke
, who will receive the MDiv in May 2019, was ordained priest by Bishop Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows on Dec. 1 at Good Samaritan Episcopal Church, a "church plant" in Brownsburg, Ind. As noted on their website, "Rather than being located in one building, Good Samaritan meets in different places around Brownsburg, Avon, Hendricks County, and Indianapolis. As a Church Without Walls, we are focused more on gathering in places where we can serve people in need and where we can engage with people in everyday life. We believe the church is not so much about the building as it is about the people we serve and the people who gather with us. In other words, we’re flexible!"
