Old Testament with the Rev. Dr. Barbara Willock
Tradition I with the Rev. Roderic Wiltse
Theology I with the Rev. Daniel Handschy
The Episcopal School for Ministry is a community of faith, forming disciples of Jesus for all the ministries of the baptized.
 the Rev. Dr. Barbara Willock We are creating community in Jesus Christ, how do we do that? began Barbara Willock (teaching Old Testament during fall term at ESM) is one of the last of the founding faculty of ESM still teaching. The history of ESM begins with the episcopacy of Hays Rockwell and the need to form more deacons for the diocese. Warren Crews designed the beginning model which Willock said was based on an English model of education: small groups that live and study together. The role of ESM has expanded; the clear intention is to shape leaders of the Church in the Episcopal ethos.
“God works in community,” continued Willock. “In the ESM community, worship is integral to our time together. Regular worship, that marks the time and the days. We are a people formed around the table.” (more…)

Have you considered a class at our diocese’s Episcopal School for Ministry? While it’s true many in the ordination process take the three year sequence of nine classes, also enrolled are lay members seeking to deepen their faith and understanding of our history and traditions. Some elect the full sequence of classes and others choose one or two topics of deep interest.
 When you speak with an ESM student or grad, you understand that the experience is much richer than a more typical learning environment. Some suggest the similarity to a retreat or seminar. In each term a student selects one course, such as Christian Tradition, then engages with the material when the class meets over three Friday-Saturdays, and two additional half Saturdays.There is individual reading, study, and assignments between class meetings. Students and faculty share meals and fellowship, worship together, in addition to class work. (more…)

Posted in Civil Religion, an ongoing forum at the St Louis Post-Dispatch’s BlogZone. Author Pamela Dolan is the Director of Formation for Children and Families at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Webster Groves.
We all know that ours is an age obsessed with the personal and the new. I have been fortunate enough to take several classes with Ralph McMichael, and one thing I admire about him is the disciplined way he focuses his intellect so that it serves the ancient and timeless teachings of the Church. I suspect that such an approach is one people across the spectrum of the Church are searching for and re-learning in a mostly haphazard but quite sincere way. When I talk to people in my own and other parishes, I find that there is a palpable desire in our churches for people who can reach back into our Christian past and pluck out those treasures that continue to speak to our current situations and personal perplexities and then offer them up in such a way that they enrich our awareness of both past and present. Thus the Gospel continues to be proclaimed as not only good but also as news–as something that is different than the ways of the world, that is deeply strange and yet intuitively resonant, and that is ultimately both infinitely new and truly eternal.

Liturgy
