Theological college training

Dear en,
I read your article on theological training
and how well it prepares people for ministry
with interest (May en). I knew Mike Ovey,
as I was Student President at Oak Hill when
he was there, before his appointment to the
Principal
job. I
liked and respected him
immensely and I fully agree with his assertion and yours, that traditional theological
training may not be fully equipping people
to stay the course, particularly in the area of
people management.
What happens when you join a small church?
David Hall describes how one small Anglican church in rural Sussex mobilised for mission.
After a fitful night’s sleep, the soldiers emerge from their dug-in positions, stretch and check their weapons one last time. They have all written their final letters, now they scan the horizon apprehensively, grateful for air support, special forces already in position, artillery back-up, the naval blockade and, above all, their colleagues in the regiment.
