Tuesday Teaching
Tithing Can Be Fun: Stewardship course set at General Theological Seminary
[ENS, Source: GTS] The truth about theology, theory and stewardship practices that grow healthy congregations and fund God's work will be shared during a three-day course titled "Tithing Can Be Fun: Stewardship and Congregational Vitality," at General Theological Seminary (GTS.)
The July 31 - August 2 course is part of the seminary's continuing education summer program offering lay people and clergy opportunities for spiritual and intellectual growth.
It will be taught by the Rev. Michael E. Carlisle, retired rector of St. Peter's, Paris, Kentucky, where he tripled stewardship in less than 10 years, and by Terry Parsons, missioner for Stewardship for the Episcopal Church. Prior to her stewardship work, Parsons was a magazine editor, marketing consultant to small businesses, director of development for a not-for-profit human service agency and developed a training program for women executives.
Classes will be held on the GTS campus located at 175 Ninth Avenue in New York City's Chelsea district.
Participants may earn three continuing education credits. Course tuition is $325. Lunch is included in the fee.
For more information visit http://www.gts.edu/contedss05.asp or call Helen Goodkin at 888.487.5649 ext. 461.
Founded in 1817, GTS is the oldest seminary of the Episcopal Church. The campus has been a New York City landmark since 1826. A leading center for theological education in the Anglican Communion, the Seminary's primary mission is "to educate and form leaders for the Church in a changing world."
