Education
for Ministry (EFM) workshop scheduled
for May 6-8 at Camp Hardtner
A three day EFM mentor training workshop is scheduled for Hardtner Camp and Conference Center May 6-8. Both basic and formation training (Experiential Learning) will be offered. The three day session is expected to draw participants from Texas and Mississippi as well as both Louisiana dioceses. Sewanee requires all mentors to be retrained every eighteen months. The May training is an opportunity for mentors to update their certification and for those interested persons to explore the possibility of mentoring.
EFM is a program of theological education by extension from The School of Theology, University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee. EFM is for anyone who seeks to engage on a path of discovery about their Christian faith in a serious way. Participants in the program study the entire sweep of the Christian tradition from the earliest period to the present. Through study, prayer and reflection, EFM groups, led by trained mentors, move toward a new understanding of the fullness of God's kingdom.
New groups will be forming this fall in Shreveport, Lake Charles, Alexandria and Pineville. For information about mentor training or how to join a group, please contact Brenda Milam at 318-792-1095 or brendamilam@suddenlink.net.
