By Stephen J. Kemp |
Excerpt: In the final analysis, the big question raised by Being There is “B eing where? Traditional campus-based seminary education has a track record that includes much success. However, most of us live and serve in contemporary North America. If our institutions are going to be true to their missions, they must take seriously where they understand formation to take place. When the attention shifts from the culture of the schools to the culture of the students, one finds that the concerns about non‑traditional education become rays of hope for the effective accomplishment of the missions of our schools. If we stop insisting on students being there and give more attention to where , we are well on our way to greater effectiveness in ministry training. It is now time for Christian distance educators to step forward, examine the evidence thoroughly, and clearly present the findings.
