EfM is a four-year distance learning theological education program of the School of Theology of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. The School of Theology is one of eleven seminaries of the Episcopal Church. Participants commit one year at a time to meet regularly in seminars led by trained mentors. During the four years participants study the Bible, church history, and theology, while learning to engage in theological reflection.
EfM provides the basics of a theological education in order to develop knowledge and confidence about the ministry all share. Since its beginning in 1975, 33,000 plus graduates have become a source of informed, committed, and prepared leadership for the church.
EfM has contracts with most dioceses of the Episcopal Church. It is also used among Methodists, Roman Catholics, Presbyterians, and Disciples of Christ. EfM is found in Australia, the Bahamas, Canada, New Zealand and in the UK and other European countries.
The cost of the tuition is $340 per year. Inquire about the availability of partial or full scholarships.
