There's a Crack in Everything

Abstract

The demise of the Christendom paradigm, while a cause of fear and anxiety for some, has created opportunities for expanding practices of ministry. These expanding practices require new methods of “equipping the saints for the work of ministry.” Lay-oriented theological education programs such as Education for Ministry, and its Theological Reflection process, are providing ways in which more people are exploring their various vocations as the places in which they are called to ministry.
