Adult Christian Formation

Adult Forum
Educational programs designed to help us deepen our understanding of Christian teachings and beliefs are offered throughout the year. A Sunday Forum for adults is held in Sayre Hall from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM Education Hour from September to May. Dates, times, and subject matter for all programs are announced in the Parish Visitor and in the weekly News and Information bulletin insert. Childcare is available for most programs held during the week for those who request it in advance of the programs. Adult Christian Formation programs are under the direction of the Cathedral’s Canon for Christian Formation.

Education for Ministry (EFM)
Education for Ministry (EFM) is a program of theological education-at-adistance of the School of Theology of the University of the South. It covers the basics of a theological education in the Old and New Testaments, church history, liturgy, and theology. This college level course is intended to provide lay people in the church with a theological education to support their faith and help them express that faith in daily life. Through study, prayer and reflection, EFM groups move toward a new understanding of the fullness of God’s kingdom. Classes will begin on Wednesday, September 8 from 9:30am—Noon . Please speak to Canon Anne Kitch if you are interested in participating.

the Cathedral presents a special Lenten Program. The format is as

The programs are designed to be inspirational, educational and stimulating.
