Brief in presentation yet broad in scope, The Roman Empire and the New Testament: An Essential Guide will introduce students to the information and ideas essential to coming to grips with the world in which early Christianity was born.
Bishop Deborah Kiesey's Welcome
At the 2007 Annual Conference we were all challenged to find ways to transform our lives, our churches, our annual conferences and our world. An important part of any transformation is continuing to grow spiritually and intellectually. We are blessed that our School of Ministry offers a place to do both. I encourage you to seriously consider spending time at this important gathering. Not only is it a chance to re-connect with friends and colleagues, but it also offers opportunities to deepen our understanding of the message of the New Tesatment and to participate in vital worship. I look forward to being with you in Sioux Falls for this gathering.
