Loading...Seven individuals from across the diocese and one person from the Diocese of Virginia participated in Education for Ministry (EFM) mentor training at All Saints' Conference Center near Leitchfield, Ky., on June 18- 20.
Participants were the Rev. Suzanne Barrow (St. Andrew’s, Glasgow), Nancy Black (Grace, Paducah), Jay Hendricks (St. Andrew’s, Louisville), Laurie Joyce (Christ Church, Bowling Green), Sally Proctor (Grace, Paducah), Denise Rivers (St. Andrew’s, Louisville), William Vien (St. Andrew’s, Glasgow) and The Rev. Jennings Hobson (The Diocese of Virginia). The trainer was the Rev. Johnna Camp.
Group members spent 18 hours developing skills for leading a theological reflection, a method that helps EFM seminar members to think theologically, integrating their own beliefs and their relationship to culture and tradition in order to further develop their ministry as Christians.
A person who wishes to become an EFM mentor must attend a training session and be accredited as a mentor. Mentors must renew their accreditation every 18 months by attending training to remain active. There are currently 14 EFM groups in the diocese.
For more information, contact the Rev. Rose Bogal-Allbritten, EFM Diocesan Coordinator, at rose.bogal@att.net or (270) 293-9490.
