The diakonia Program

St. Luke's recently received in the mail a flier about the Metro Chicago Synod's Diakonia Program.

"diakonia is a two-year process of spiritual formation and theological education for baptized members of the ELCA or anyone wishing in good faith to study these teachings. This process occurs in three basic ways:

By thorough grounding in the classic church-leadership disciplines of practical, systematic, historical, and Biblical theology;

By identifying particular skills and aptitudes in ministry, and encouraging their use in the local parish;

By providing spiritual growth through worship, retreats, and a supportive community of fellow students, mentors, and instructors."

Registration for the classes starting in September 2016 have already begun....
