The Board of SACEM, under the strategic leadership of Dr. Dent Davis, has been developing a proposal for a new online Journal of Lifelong Learning for Ministry.

An exciting prospectus will be presented to SACEM members at our business meeting during the annual gathering in February. Dr. Davis indicates that this unique online publication would seek to stimulate conversation and strengthen the quality of educational practice among those who provide lifelong learning in theological institutions, denominational offices, conference and retreat centers, and consultant and freelance organizations. The prospectus describes the online journal to be:

an ecumenical journal for the exchange of research, ideas, and practices related to continuing education for ministry. … Each edition would focus on a particular topic through the lenses of a variety of perspectives using lead articles, responses, and replies, as well as discussion-starters and an annotated list of resources for further research and reflection…The journal would also seek to connect the practice of continuing education for ministry with the broader fields of adult education, religious education, theological education, spiritual formation and ministry practice in a rapidly changing world.

 

Watch for more information! And plan to be part of the conversation at the SACEM Annual Conference in February.
