All programs strive to include ecumenical and interfaith presenters and welcome participants from all traditions. See Trinity's Calendar of Events for other Continuing Education programs

Distance Education opportunities for congregations and individuals are available through the Covenant Cluster seminaries and will be included in the Calendar of Events.

Continuing Education is also an ongoing component of the Promise for Life Holocaust Memorial Sculpture. Periodic public educational events are offered throughout the year in collaberation with the Jewish community and the broader ecumenical and interfaith community.

Hearing the Word: Teaching the Bible in the Parish (and Beyond)

"Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ."   Acts 5:42 (NIV)

The 2010 Hein-Fry lecture topic “Hearing the Word: Teaching the Bible in the Parish (and Beyond),” seeks to explore the important conversations throughout the ELCA concerning the various ways Lutheran communities in diverse North American contexts are sharing the biblical narratives, truths, and messages of the gospel through their teaching ministries. These presentations strive to raise awareness about the many ways the Lutheran churches have traditionally taught the Bible, as well as offer innovative contemporary approaches to teaching the Bible today.
