EfM (Education for Ministry), a four-year adult formation program developed by the School of Theology at the University of the South, is recruiting for the 2021 – 2022 year. EfM groups of six to 12 people meet weekly for two to two-and-a-half hours to discuss texts and theological reflections.
The curriculum is:

• Year One Hebrew Scripture
• Year Two Christian Scripture
• Year Three Church History
• Year Four Theology and Ethics

All four years tend to meet together. Seminar sessions are facilitated by trained Mentors and Co-Mentors. To learn more, contact the nearest EfM group.
