Summer Quarter 2009

The 2009 Summer Quarter began on Monday, June 22nd, with 77 students participating in the graduate-level continuing education courses. The courses are available to all called workers who are active in the ministry of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod or of churches in its confessional fellowship, including staff ministers and teachers.

Course offerings include: Alternate Styles of Preaching, Ministering to Families in Crisis, Interpersonal Communication, and Micah: the Man and His Message.

As the seminary continues to work with students from diverse backgrounds through the Pastoral Studies Institute (PSI), the number of those students grows. This year 10 students and instructors from Cristo Palabra De Vida — the Spanish language arm of the PSI — came for a theological training seminar for congregational assistants. In addition, seven people attended as part of the Asian Ministerial Training Program and two Hmong pastors returned for continuing education.
