Disciples currently are on the cusp of a new period of visioning.
Disciples educators have continued to emphasize the centrality of Bible study in the life of the faithful through participation in the development of the Bible Quest curriculum resources, through a denomination-wide discernment process on the nature of biblical authority, and through significant inclusion of the biblical witness in workshops and training events. In 1998, Disciples published a 12-session denominational identity course linking the theological work of the Disciples Council on Christian Unity and the spiritual and practical lives of church members. These efforts and myriad other smaller contributions are renewing congegational life among Disciples today. African American Disciples now have a pre-convocation education event at their biennial meetings. Most importantly, denominational leaders are meeting with educators to imagine what new educational leadership training opportunities might look like.
