Seminar on Spiritual Maturity

The School of Theology (English) will be conducting a seminar on 6th Feb 2009 on the theme "Spiritual Maturity: A call to the Christian, the church and the theological school." Our speaker is Dr Gordon T. Smith, President of reSource Leadership International and at one time Academic Dean at Regent College in Vancouver. Dr Smith will present a series of three lectures where he will provide participants with a biblical definition of Christian maturity and propose how this goal of the Christian life can inform the life of the individual, the ministry of the church and the work of good theological education.

I draw attention to the final meeting which is designed particularly for the ears of church leaders and leaders of theological institutions. If you, your colleagues in your schools, or your denominational co-workers need to hear a message about graduate outcomes and assessing those outcomes, please do come and join us for that session.
