Theology Department hosts national speaker March 18

On March 18, the Theology Department hosted SMU alum and national speaker and consultant on youth ministry Rich Curran (www.richcurran.com) to give a workshop to Pastoral and Youth Ministry majors, and others interested about, “All The Questions You Have About Youth Ministry, Answered.” Students engaged in a lively question-and-answer session combining the theory of ministry to young people to the practice of outreach, inclusion, pre-evangelization, and getting the rest of the parish on board. The workshop was part of the Spirituality for the Vineyard colloquia introduced this academic year, providing interested students the opportunity to engage with national and local leaders in the practice of lay ministry.
