Education for Ministry is a place where all questions about our faith are welcome;
Do you enjoy meaningful conversation with trusted seekers?
Do you question different interpretations of biblical passages and want to explore them more deeply?
Are you seeking God and desire others to accompany you on your search?
Does Sunday morning whet your appetite for more?
Education for Ministry (EfM) helps us understand how we are called into relationship with God, neighbour, and creation wherever we are – at home, at work, in all the places we spend time. God’s revelation through Christian tradition is taken seriously by EfM, from the earliest biblical messages, through the development of liturgy and theology, and even to the context of the challenges we face in our own times and daily lives. We practise integrating faith and life, and communicating our faith to others.
What is involved?
EfM-Classic involves four years, taken one year at a time: Old Testament, New Testament, Christian History, and Christian Spirituality & Ethics. EfM-Wide Angle is an overview of the spiritual journey that introduces participants to EfM-Classic, by touching on the Old Testament, New Testament, Christian history, spirituality, and ethics within one year.
Who participates?
EfM is designed for lay people of all ages. At baptism we are all called to ministry. Don’t let the four years be overwhelming, we only ask for a one year commitment. Or you can try the Wide Angle option of one year.
Where?
The Wednesday evening group meets in Montreal at Dio (Montreal Diocesan Theological College) on the McGill campus and online.
Or Thursdays at 7pm in the west island.
