Mission and Ministry (M&M) Forums
Each Thursday lunch hour during the academic year,
in the Olson Campus Center, the Global Mission
Institute partners with
Cross-Cultural Education to provide special
discussion forums. These lunchtime forums are informal gatherings
where students and other people from the community can learn about
and process through various topics, including cross-cultural
ministry, missiology, opportunities for involvement in the global
church, etc. Faculty and other knowledgeable presenters lead
discussions and attendees are welcome to come and go as needed.
The Mission and Ministry Forums will resume with
fall semester classes; the first one will be held on Thursday 18
September from 12:30-1:30 p.m.
Purpose
-
The forums are to connect the
seminary experience to wider contexts by bringing to campus
resource people in cross-cultural, global mission, and peace
& justice areas of interest.
-
The program
is to highlight the diversity and expertise of our students,
staff, faculty, and community resources by creating times
for sharing stories and experience.

The forums
are to function as a vital link between the Global Mission
Institute and the Cross-Cultural Education Program as well
as the Mission and World Christianity emphasis.
Immediate
Goals
