A powerful collection of essays that detail the history, practices, reflections, and legacy of 50 years of Education for Ministry.
Maggie Taliaferro is a trainer for Education for Ministry (EfM), and the focus lead for their Communications Task Force.
Mary Ann Patterson graduated from EfM in 2009. She worked at School of Theology in Sewanee, Tennessee for 11 years as communications director and editor of the Sewanee Theological Review.
Kevin Goodman is the executive director of the Education for Ministry (EfM) program. He has served as a mentor and trainer for EfM for over thirty years, and is an ordained priest. He has served as Associate Rector at All Saints’ Ravenswood and Associate Dean of St. James Cathedral.
"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
