Field education is an opportunity for students to develop ministry
skills, practice ministerial reflection, discern their call,
experience professional collegiality, and undergo personal
transformation. Field education offers them a place to practice
ministry and a space to reflect on it, to integrate theory and
practice, and grow towards competency. In Welcome to Theological
Field Education eleven directors of field education in seminaries
and divinity schools across North America pass on their wisdom to
both students and their supervisors. Edited by Matthew Floding,
director of field education at Western Seminary in Holland,
Michigan, this volume covers critical topics such as the art of
supervision and formation, the use of case studies and peer
reflection groups, self-care and ministerial ethics, and
assessment. Formation for ministry is especially challenging at
this time in the church's life. First, the explosion of knowledge,
pluralism, and consumerism and a host of other complicating factors
make huge demands on what a minister must know to be effective in
ministry. Second, with the erosion of thick religious subcultures,
the novice minister has fewer sources of practical wisdom to draw
upon. The next generation of ministers, if they are to be more
fully formed for ministry, depends on skilled mentoring alongside
wise supervisors. This book is the tool to help them make the most
of their field education experience.
