As the new dean of studies at the diocesan School for Ministry (SFM), I am eager to share with you some of the exciting courses we offer that may benefit you and your parishioners.

We are serious about providing the best education for members of the diocese, including those pursuing ordination, those discerning a call to ministry, or those who simply wish to learn more about the Bible, theology, liturgy, the Anglican tradition, or any of the other topics that we include in our educational offerings. To this end, we invite students to take classes that interest them for credit or as auditors (at a reduced rate).

All classes are held on Saturdays and are conducted in Trinity Chapel at the Episcopal Church Center in Ocean Beach. We are enrolling for the fall semester, and are eager to hear from you or anyone you know who may be interested in taking a class. Here is a brochure (PDF) that includes all course offerings for fall 2015, as well as instructors, times, fees, and a registration form. This information is also available on our website: www.sfmedsd.org. Please share this information with your congregations, particularly with those who are interested in adult educational opportunities. This information is also available on our website. 

Sincerely,

School for Ministry Dean of Studies
