Editor's Notes
- In the month since I’ve started working here…Begun a processof listening… to colleagues, students & alumni, board members & outsiders… … started looking at our courses, programs, worship, commitments & community…Trying to better understand our identity as EDS
- I’ve found that EDS is an extraordinary place…And our identity is being part of a prophetic voice and cutting edge in theological education
- EDS is a place….
- The question I have is…
- And, on our part, what are the areas, the ways of expression, the ways of living out our understanding of what it means to be human, and to be spiritual beings?
- For me, the question I’m looking at is … how can this aspect of learning…Whatever we call it.. and these are some of the ways our peer institutions name it…How can continuing education or lifelong learning increase the life, vitality & scope of who we are?
- So I”ve taken a look at how other institutions in the BTI and across the country are handling lifelong learning.
- Some of them are utilizing modern technology to help create an online world of rich resourcesHere: Concordia Seminary in St. Louis
- Whole books and study packages are becoming available, including video and audio courses through iTunes U and other applicationsHere: Reformed Theological Seminary

- In fact, the invitation is, “We have constructed an innovative way for you to ‘go to seminary without going to seminary!’ Consider God's call in your current place of family, church and community as you continue your journey with the Lord.”(Virtual) Reformed Theological Seminary: 30 full courses, chapel messages, seminars & special events.
