First gathering of the Theological Education and Formation Strategic Advisory Group (TEF SAG)

Theological education and formation have always been a profound part of our Lutheran identity and the driver of religious, social, political, and economic reform. The 12th Assembly passed a Resolution on Theological Education that calls the LWF to create a strategy to ensure that everyone in our communion who feels called to lay or ordained ministry can access quality theological education.  The LWF seeks to build a participatory network where member churches, theological institutions, theologians and students can contribute gifts and address needs of theological education in their context. A Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) composed of eleven teaching theologians, students and representatives from member churches will meet in Geneva from 21-22 March to advise the strategy for building a Network for Theological Education and Formation.
