Abstract

Learning is a lifelong process for all persons, especially for those who are called to ministry in the church. It is continuing, meaning that it is an ongoing process throughout one's life; it is theological, meaning that it is motivated, guided and informed by theology; and it is educational, meaning that it is concerned with the theories and methods of teaching and learning. This work explores the nature of seminary continuing education as it has developed professionally, drawing from records and anecdotes of the Society for the Advancement of Continuing Education in Ministry. The focus then shifts to the concerns of the church. Finally, the paper narrows to the context of the Moravian Church and its concern for continuing education, as well as a look at two historical figures that have played a prominent role in both theology and education, John Amos Comenius and Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf. The project concludes with a focused look at each of the three elements of the thesis, beginning with the theological interest of continuing education, theology as content, as method, and motivation for participation.
