Joint Information Service on Theological Education in World Christianity

Joint Information Service

 This Joint Information Service of the WCC programme on Ecumenical Theological Education and the World Conference of Associations of Theological Institutions (WOCATI) replaces the journal Ministerial Formation.

It aims to encourage sharing and cooperation among all who are working for the renewal of the churches through programmes of ministerial formation. Submission of relevant articles, reports and news is welcomed.

Index of online issues:

• Joint Information Service, November 2009: This issue focuses on the Theological Education World Study Report 2009 by the Edinburgh 2010 International Study Group
• Ministerial formation, issue 111, November 2008: This issue presents a collection of voices from the Latin American discourse on theological education. It is interesting to realize how fast developments have progressed on this continent since the last special issue on Latin America in 1992, though some challenges remain the same.
• Ministerial formation, issue 110, April 2008: This issue of Ministerial Formation is at the special occasion both of the Jubilee of ETE as well as the congress of the World Conference of Associations of Theological Institutions (WOCATI). 50 years of work in promoting ecumenical theological education in six continents - what a history of struggling, what accumulation of dedicated efforts of many gifted theological educators, what persistency in the promotion of both contextualization and globalization of theological education are imbedded in and part of these 50 years!
• Ministerial formation, issue 109, July 2007: This issue focuses on theological education in the societies of Asia. Articles have been compiled by Wati Longchar, ETE Regional Consultant for Asia and Pacific.
• Ministerial formation, issue 108, January 2007: In this issue, Ross Kinsler writes on theological education for the 21st century; Colin Smith looks at theological education in Nairobi; Roger Gaikwad provides an Asian reflection on the All-Africa TEE conference; Wati Longchar gives a visitor's impression of theological education in China; and David B. Alexnder reflects on Asian theological education under the challenge of globalization.
• Ministerial formation, issue 107, July 2006: In this issue, entitled "Voices from Brazil", we hear the voices of a small group of theological students and their professors who attended the WCC's 9th Assembly in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in February 2006.
• Ministerial formation, issue 105-106, July 2005-January 2006: In this double issue in Spanish, Portugues and English, theological educators from Latin America have been invited to reflect on the theme of the forthcoming WCC assembly in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and to write on texts of their choice.
• Ministerial Formation, issue 104, January 2005: The articles in this issue sample a spirit of resistance to evil as experiences through violent acts in the Philippines, Nicaragua, Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar and Russia. In many cases, church leaders remain silent and oblivious to violence and abuse of power in the home, the church and in society in general. These articles challenge us to speak out the truth with courage and vision.
• Ministerial Formation, issue 103, July 2004: In this issue, we hear voices and actions taken to address violence and peace-making in a variety of contexts in church and society, in relation to the WCC campaiggn "On the wings of a dove" (25 November - 10 December 2004), which focuses on overcoming violence vs. women and children.
• Ministerial Formation, issue 102, January 2004: Focussing on HIV/AIDS, this issue urges theological educators to heed the call to faith-based communities to take their rightful place at the frontline in the battle against the pandemic and, most of all, the stigma and discrimination people living with AIDS.

• Ministerial Formation, issue 96, January 2002, challenges and encourages those in theological education and ecumenical ministerial formation to be critically aware of the life-threatening issues of the day and to do something in our methodologies and curricula to address them and deliver effective and transforming education in church and society.
• Ministerial Formation, issue 95, October 2001, offers a report of the second meeting of the WCC Commission on Education and Ecumenical Formation, held 18-22 September 2001 in Cartigy, Switzerland, and marked by the tragic events of 11 September.

“ What Our Satisfied Customers Have To Say ...”

I realize that for some, all of this might sound too good to be true. For those that automatically think this is too good to be true, I know I can't just say, "trust me... it is true".While it's sad that the internet has become a place like that, I don't blame you one bit. In fact, I'm exactly the same. I need proof. I need to see and hear from real people that are currently doing what I want to be able to do.

So, for the skeptics out there, here's more proof straight from the "horses mouth". All 100% unsolicitated.

" I'm thoroughly impressed. Highly recommended!."

"The illustrations and extensive lesson plans have been invaluable. It has provided me with a one-stop educational solution as a student. Where was this 2 years ago when I first started!"

I'm thoroughly impressed. Highly recommended!" Rachel Kaushik UNCW School Of Nursing North Carolina

" If you are a practitioner, don't walk. Run and pick this up..."

"There are a lot of good reasons to buy James’s latest product. But the thing that really jumped out at me is the depth and quality of all the modules. If you're a practitioner or you're in the medical field,

get this product. Don't walk...run and pick this up before James comes to his senses and stops selling this. No ifs, no ands, no buts. Just get it." Dr. William Crawford Medical PractitionerSausalito, CA
