Pastor-Faculty Colloquy
Leadership in the Mennonite Church can carry an ambiguous mandate. At the Pastor-Faculty Colloquies, church leaders gather in a retreat setting to unpack this issue. Focused reading and writing assignments ground discussions on such topics as sustaining pastoral ministry and the importance of teaching in the church. As participants share their knowledge, foundation is laid for vocational growth in the church and in the classroom.
The Pastor-Faculty Colloquies are part of Engaging Pastors, a larger initiative by AMBS to "transform seminary-church connections through sustained interaction between professors and pastors," as articulated by the program mission statement. Engaging Pastors is funded by a five year grant from Lilly Endowment.
