Educational Ministry Program
How do we hold our faith tradition and modern context together
in our education and worship approach?
What approach to education will lead to committed faithfulness
in children and youth?
How do we celebrate a diversity of faith in ways that are
respectful and inclusive?
How can our education and worship address and challenge conditions
of oppression such as racism and sexism?
