Dr. Eugene Peterson will address an assembly of clergy and interested friends for a luncheon at the First Alliance Church in Calgary. This agreement, which establishes an on-going relationship between the seminary and the health district means that CTS students will continue to be enrolled in the program, and our faculty will continue teaching and equipping people to give spiritual care in a variety of settings. The recent Blueprints for Building Healthy Small Groups conference series held at Beulah Alliance Church in Edmonton, and at First Alliance and Centre Street Church in Calgary, provided an excellent opportunity for CTS Extension Education to cooperate with the churches to provide a college or seminary course to supplement the conferences. Each conference was turned into a one-credit course with the addition of extra course readings and assignments to give the biblical background to the seminars and to help attendees apply the concepts to their own unique ministry context. Richard Emilson, CTS Assistant Professor of Church Education, taught the supplementary courses for the conferences called Coaching Small Groups and Small Groups that Change Lives II .
