Learning Across Distance and Faiths: Theological Education and COVID-19
Proposal abstract :
The new Coronavirus pandemic has created a context with which religious leaders 'in formation' must contend - and for which their teachers/guides must also be newly prepared. Schools moved classes online, worship shifted to remote spaces, and field education / internships adapted to the current reality. This year’s annual Inter-Seminary Initiative (ISI) Retreat, Learning Across Distance and Faiths: Theological Education and COVID-19, will give trusted colleagues an opportunity to discuss what they did that worked (and why); what failed (and why); what made for a smooth transition to online learning; what were obstacles; and, most importantly for the ISI, what opportunities does online learning at these individual schools open up for collective teaching and learning among the schools.
