The Promise Fulfilled: Five Pastors Talk About Their Theological Education

Changing patterns in church life have altered the relationships of theological schools to the denominations, churches, and ecclesial communities they serve. Yet these relationships are essential to the integrity and quality of theological education. First aired at the Biennial Meeting in June, this video captures the informal reflections of five pastors who affirm the critical and enduring value of their theological education for their lives and ministry. Free copies of this DVD are available to member schools (one per school) until December 31 by contacting Nadine Banks.
