A new academic year begins: Episcopal School for Ministry

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

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…)
