The Programs Center of the School of Theology is the site of extension education. Here Sewanee coordinates programs for both off campus and university audiences. Such quality theological programs provide lay leaders with spiritual refreshment, reflection, new skills and ideas, and peer networking for their work in the church.
Most workshop courses offer continuing education units.
Taught in partnership with 83 Episcopal dioceses and in Anglican dioceses in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Europe, EFM is a four-year curriculum which helps lay persons become theologically informed and strengthens their ability to minister in the parish and world. Participants learn the basics of faith, have an opportunity to deepen their spiritual life, and enhance skills in areas such as effective communications and active listening. DOCC challenges participants to identify and practice daily skills in ministry as part of the process of Christian formation as a life-long process. It is offered at Sewanee during the summer and may be incorporated in the doctoral degree program. Developed and led by School of Theology Dean Guy F. Lytle and several fellow clergy presenters.
