Education for Ministry (EfM) is a program of theological education-at-a-distance which originated at the University of the South School of Theology, while Urban T. Holmes III was dean,[1] drawing on the work of the Jesuit theologian Bernard Lonergan.
Study is conducted in small groups consisting of 6-12 members, facilitated by mentors who have been certified by the EfM program.
It is a four-year program of study covering the Old and New Testaments, the history of the Christian religion, and theology.
[4] It is used in many dioceses of the Anglican Communion in North America and throughout the world (students are active in Australia, Central America, Europe, New Zealand, South America and the United Kingdom, as well as Canada and the US), from progressive to traditional, and Anglo-Catholic to evangelical,[citation needed] including Southern Ohio (Cincinnati),[5] Massachusetts (Boston),[6] Springfield, Illinois,[7] Canada,[8] Central Pennsylvania,[9] and Albany, New York.
