The dates for Vocation Vacation will be March 8-15th. The group will be no larger than 10 people, traveling in a van, with a modest cost. We plan to visit a variety of ministry sites from Boston to D.C. along the East Coast, and we would love your input in our planning process. What types of ministry are you interested in learning more about? What experiences will guide your vocational discernment?
We are shaping the Vocation Vacation around our community's spirit of inquiry - so, let your interests be known, whether or not you plan to attend, by filling out our short (5 question) survey!

New Travel Seminar
TF 808-R1
"Issues in Mission and Ministry: Rural Maine"
Spring 2014
This new travel seminar will use Maine as a case study to explore how churches and faith-based organizations in smaller towns and rural areas understand their missions and ministries in our unpredictable, rapidly changing era.
Led by Wanda Stahl and Elizabeth Parsons, the on location portion of the seminar will run
from 19 - 26 May. Two mandatory pre-meetings and one post-meeting in Boston are also part of this course.
The seminar is only open to students who are not graduating in May 2014. This course is being generously subsidized by Springboard funding and by the Center for Global Christianity and Mission. All participants must pay a $350 fee; their transportation to-from Portland, Maine where the travel begins; and a few meals along the way. So, total out of pocket costs per student should be approximately $450-$500. Contact Dr. Stahl at ( wsthal@bu.edu) or Dr. Parsons ( parsonse@bu.edu) for more information.
