How is understanding the story of your own faith journey important for sharing Christ with others? How did Jesus use storytelling in his ministry? Can learning about storytelling help your preaching or teaching? How do we approach evangelism in the Episcopal church? We’ll explore this and many other topics in this fun and engaging class. This class is required for licensing of Evangelists and recommended for Preachers and Pastoral Leaders. Even if you are not pursuing licensing, this class will have much to offer for general faith formation. Facilitated by Rev. Dina Ferguson, retired rector of St. Michael’s in El Segundo. Prior to ordination she worked as a training consultant across a broad spectrum of industries. She holds B.A. and M.S. degrees from USC, has a D.Min. from United Theological Seminary, and a Certificate of Anglican Studies from CDSP.
