School for Diaconal Formation

 

This course list corresponds to the descriptions outlined in Canon III.6.5 of the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church.  Since that canonical list does not include some of the more common descriptions such as, missiology, ecclesiology, and liturgics, some courses are included under the canonical headings.  Also, many of the courses cover multiple disciplines.  Where available, please refer to the syllabi for more detailed descriptions.
