School of Theology and Ministry celebrates 15th anniversary
The School of Theology and Ministry will celebrate its 15th anniversary on October 19 with an event that also marks the launch of a new book comprising scholarly contributions from several STM faculty members.
STM faculty, students, alumni, benefactors, and other members of the University community will gather in Gasson 100 for the celebration, which begins at 5:30 p.m. Provost and Dean of Faculties David Quigley and STM Dean and Professor Michael C. McCarthy, S.J., will offer remarks.
The evening will feature a panel discussion on formative theological education, the same title of a new book co-edited by Professor of the Practice of Theology Colleen Griffith and Associate Professor of Hispanic Ministry and Religious Education Hosffman Ospino.

Joining the co-editors for the discussion will be STM faculty members who have contributed to the new volume: JohnF. Baldovin, S.J.; Andrew R. Davis; Thomas Groome; Callid Keefe-Perry; Melissa Kelley; Rev. Richard Lennan; and Theresa A. O’Keefe.
Formative Theological Education examines the renewal in theological education characterized by a change in approach from the predominance of rational and abstract reasoning for the sake of cognitive knowledge about matters of faith to one that emphasizes spiritual and ethical formation, according to Griffith and Ospino.
