Delving into their history and mission, this collection captures the core of the EfM program and looks to their future through the perspectives of a diverse group of writers.

"For half a century, EfM has provided a tremendous opportunity for
Episcopalians to gather in community for learning, formation, and
theological reflection. As the world around us changes, I am grateful that
we can continue counting on EfM to form us so powerfully in the faith
that sustains and guides us.”—Sean Rowe, 28th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church
