Sean the Baptist

It is good to see Frank Rees posting again at To Be Frank.  His opening reflection for the year explores the shifts that have taken place in theological education towards the "formation agenda" and he seeks to recover that notion, and the idea of the seminary from some of the less helpful aspects often associated with them.  He makes reference to a recent article, but we don't take the journal here, so I will have to look out for it elsewhere.

The whole issue of formation and models of theological education is at the front of my mind following a Partnership staff meeting yesterday when we discussed possible future developments in the light of the review of Anglican Theological Education (the "Hind Process").  Changes are afoot! 

It will be a busy year for Frank as he assumes responsibility as Acting Principal at Whitley College - so I want to wish him well in that work and in all he does.
