To St. Louis and back and so I journeyed Wednesday and Thursday. I was there talking about the synod’s upcoming Pastoral Education Month. This yearly celebration of our synod occurs during the month of May. There will be resources on the synod’s Web site and posters mailed to congregations. Why? Pastoral Education Month has been designated by the Synod’s Board of Directors to help educate the synod about the process of forming servants for Jesus Christ. It encourages pastors and congregations in the processes of finding putting forth possible candidates for the seminary. Also it provides a way to encourage financial support for the formation of the Lord’s workers. Look forward to more information as this year’s celebration draws closer and closer. Mark the calendar though…perhaps your church could have a Pastoral Education Sunday during the month of May. Give me an email if you have any questions: steven[dot]cholak[at]ctsfw[dot]edu.

Pastoral Education Month sounds like a great idea. There is too much crap out there that comes from misunderstanding the office and the "priesthood of all believers."

Thanks, Dan. I pray that many congregations will use the resources offered by the Synod to combat the negative misunderstanding that is alive out there.
