Crafting Continuing Education: Identity and Intentionality |
“At work, the potter sits before a lump of clay on the wheel. Her mind is on the clay, but she is also aware of sitting between her past experiences and her future prospects…the product that emerges on the wheel is likely to be in the tradition of her past work, but she may break away and embark on a new direction. Even so, the past is no less present.”
- Henry Mintzberg in “Crafting Strategy,” Harvard Business Review
 The 2009 Annual Conference for the Society for the Advancement of
Continuing Education for Ministry will be held in Atlanta, Georgia,
March 6-8, at the Columbia Theological Seminary. In this year’s annual conference we will consider what it means to craft continuing education for ministry programs that honor tradition and embark on new directions. We will, individually and together, discern what is core to our identity to insure that the past is present in the future, and we will be intentional in considering new directions.

President's Column: Change with a Capital C |
|
“Well, Toto, I guess we’re not in Kansas anymore.”
( - Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz)
In the June issue of The Continuing Educator I wrote about the
season of change affecting those involved in continuing education for
ministry. Little did any of us realize the range of changes that would
occur world-wide since June 2008! The last few months have brought a
whole new focus to the idea of change as the deteriorating global
financial realities have rippled through our individual and
organizational lives. Congregations, seminaries, retreat centers,
denominations, and judicatories are scrambling to try to respond to the
changes. Endowments, gifts, enrollments, staffing patterns, planning,
and programs all are affected.
