EfM (Education for Ministry) is returning to St. Christopher’ Episcopal Church in Fort Worth in September. Since 2011, more than 35 people from multiple congregations have participated at St. Christopher’s in this four-year, small-group formation program based on study and practice in theological reflection. This seminar-style class will be offered once a week for 36 weeks, under the guidance of trained mentors Marti Fagley and The Rev. Ron Pogue. Seminar size is limited to 6-12 students. The cost of this sponsored program is $375 per year (some scholarships are available). EfM is a Certificate program administered by the School of Theology at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. We promise this will be a life changing journey with God.
Meetings – Our group will meet on Tuesday afternoons, starting September 9. Registration will begin August 19.
Living in Community – We value creating sacred space where people feel welcomed and safe.
Regular Prayer and Worship – We recognize the presence of God with us in every session, and we explore ways to deepen our individual spirituality.
Theological Reflection (TR) – Our conversations take on an added dimension in EfM’s model of theological reflection.
Study – EfM materials root us in Christian scripture, history, theology, and ethics.
Vocational Discernment – It is not so much about what a person does, but how a person lives with purpose.
Our group will meet on Tuesday afternoons, starting September 2. Registration will begin August 19. For further information contact Marti Fagley (mfagley@aol.com or 817-637-1820) or The Rev. Ron Pogue (rpogue@icloud.com or 832-576-9019). You may also want to check out the University of the South’s EfM website https://theology.sewanee.edu/education-for-ministry.
