Education for Ministry (EfM)

Don't let the title scare you away.  We are not studying to be priests or deacons...necessarily. 

Education for Ministry, affectionately known as EfM, is a program of theological education-at-a-distance of the School of Theology of the University of the South. Students sign up one year at a time for this four-year program. It covers the basics of a theological education in the Old and New Testaments, church history, liturgy, and theology. Students meet regularly, usually once a week, in seminars under the guidance of trained mentors. The program grants a certificate at the completion of the four years and 18 Continuing Education Units for each year's work.

Our group currently meets on Thursday evenings from 6:30pm to 9:00pm.  We are graduating 5 students this year and are looking for up to 7 new first year students for the Fall 2008 start.  For additional information about the EFM program, explore the Sewanee website at:  http://www.sewanee.edu/EFM/index.htm

Millennium Development Goals

The MDGs represent a global partnership that has grown from the commitments and targets established at the world summits of the 1990s. Responding to the world's main development challenges and to the calls of civil society, the MDGs promote poverty reduction, education, maternal health, gender equality, and aim at combating child mortality, AIDS and other diseases.
