Abstract

Globally, theological education and ministerial formation were in a state of flux and uncertainty for a number of years in the latter part of the twentieth century. Some would go further to suggest that this area of the church's life and witness had been in crisis forsome time now. Whether in crisis or merely in painful transition, the fact is that many, if not most, churches, Christian groupings and theological institutions are realising the need for a radical review of their theological education and ministerial formation programmes. This essay focuses on the imperative for an increased mission/missiological profile within theological education and ministerial formation, and reflects on the importance of context in this process.
