Online ministry training - mission impossible?

[sydneyanglicans.net] 16 Sep 2008--Most people would realise that there are no theological colleges in the Bible. So where on earth did the first Christians get their church leaders from? The answer, of course, is the church. Which is a good reminder for those Christians (like this author) who are working in Bible colleges that the centre of ministry formation is the local church.

We must keep this in mind when it comes to distance education for ministry training. The education world has taken to cyberspace with great enthusiasm – there’s no end to the number of courses that you can study online. But training for ministry is more than just studying a body of knowledge. There are so many more things that go into developing a leader for Christian ministry.
