A Doctor of Ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary

I’m pretty excited about the D.Min. at Fuller Seminary that I’ll be teaching starting this June, not long after completing my own “terminal degree.”  (That’s a telling phrase!)  I know that several readers of this blog have already applied to Fuller to join the cohort, and I’m hoping that a few more will.  Here are some of the reasons that this D.Min. is unique:

1. Those of us in the cohort will, I am quite sure, develop friendships that will last for years.
2. We’re going to be learning together.  This won’t be a lecture-listener format, but an ongoing, interactive learning environment.
3. The topic is Christian Spirituality, so we’ll not just be learning in an intellectual sense.  We’ll also be growing our own spirits as we seek to follow Jesus.
4. I’ll be joined be some incredible fellow instructors: Lauren Winner, Phyllis Tickle, Brian McLaren, and Gareth Higgins.
5. We’re meeting for about two weeks each June for the next three years.
6. The first and third years will take place in Southern California.
7. The second year, with Brian McLaren, will be a canoe trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on the Minnesota-Canada border.

Below is a video in which I explain a bit more of what I’m looking forward to.  I hope you’ll consider applying.
