VOLUME 39 - Formation, Supervision,and Gender Identy- 2019
We live in an era of rapid social changes.
One of the most significant changes in westernized cultures in the last seven decades

The speed of these changes has been revolutionary, a social and intellectual revolution
that is in many ways still unfolding before our eyes.

VOLUME 38: Leadership in Ministry- 2018
In the task of training leaders for professional ministry, is it time we do a critical self-assessment?
Is the way we do supervision, mentoring, and training appropriate to the goal of preparing leaders?
Second, what do we mean by leadership? What are the models of leadership most suited to religious work in the twenty-first century?
A corollary to this latter question might be, Are certain styles of leadership more appropriate
for certain racial or cultural groups or certain kinds of ministry than other leadership styles?
Have we prepared leaders adequately for the particularities and diversity
of the contexts that they will serve in?

Volume 32 Virtues In Formation and Supervision - 2012
A virtue is a disposition or character trait that is well enough established in its possessor so that it guides action.
In this sense, a virtue may be both a gift and an achievement.
A virtue is also universal and contextual.
The dispositions may be universal but the cultivation of a virtue is particular.

information technology on living in general and ministry in particular. The digital revolution has created a new culture with

Volume 30 Responsibility and Accountability in Formation and Supervision in Ministry - 2010
The theme explores dimensions of responsibility and accountability in formation and supervision
that certainly include but extend beyond a supervisory relationship. Supervision is a relational system that
depends on mutual responsibility, including the capacity to assess the effectiveness of the process.
Anyone engaged in forming or supervising future religious leaders is accountable to a range of
communities and institutions not present in the supervisory relationship.

Volume 29: Forming Religious Leaders In and For a Diverse World - 2009

Attending to one's social location has become a critical dimension of self-understanding for ministry.
Programs that expose ministry students, pastoral supervisors, and faculty to diverse cultural, ethnic, or religious settings
are standard in virtually every seminary and common fare at professional gatherings.
What must we learn about responding to religious and cultural difference in order to minister authentically in diverse contexts?

We look at ways in which fear enhances or impedes formation and supervision,
depending in part on how it is used.
