THE ACADEMY
OF SPIRITUAL FORMATION

The Academy of Spiritual Formation is our home for adult spiritual formation. We understand that seekers and learners come from a variety of backgrounds, ask different questions, and respond to a multitude of learning environments.

Within the Academy framework, we don’t do "one thing." We offer a plethora of formation opportunities presented by clergy, teachers within our community,
or from our network of local and national teachers.

Wisdom Class

DEEP SHIFT

This is a wonderful space for those who have deep questions, concerns, and/or longings about God and religion, as well as for those who are ready to go beyond what they have already experienced and learned.

The richness of the Deep Shift experience is as much the group-sharing experience that forms over time as it is the wisdom and different voices of truth that inspire us, challenge us, or move us in the way we live and grow in the world.

Please reach out to Debbie Dunham, Gayle Gottlich, or Fr. Jonathan of your interest to learn more - or email us.

EfM (Education for Ministry)

"Education for Ministry (EfM) is a program of personal renewal and spiritual transformation based upon individual study and practice. Deeply rooted in the Christian tradition, yet open to all, EfM invites us to engage in study, worship, and theological reflection. Guided by trained mentors, participants meet each week in a small group setting for a period of 2.5-3 hours.

Over the course of nine months, group members are invited to connect more deeply with God and our role in bringing God’s healing love to a hurt and broken world. New groups begin in September and run through mid-May.

Please visit http://efm.sewanee.edu/ to learn more about the EfM program.

CREATIVE EXPRESSIONS

Creativity is alive and thriving at All Saints'.

Currently we have rotating art exhibits in our Hall Gallery space surrounding our downstairs meeting rooms, poetry readings from our local and guest poets, and our new Mercado Workshop (first Saturday of each month from 10-12 where we make mixed media cards, and small stuffed animals for our Border Ministries work). Other offerings bubble up to create or share our community's artistic expressions.

Our gifted choir, under the leadership of Arlene Long, are also beautifully creative and generous with new music and new productions every year. Many showcase the gifts of area vocalists and instrumentalists who may not be choir members.

Contact creativity@allsaints-cc.org for more information.
