EFM: “EFM was a valuable learning experience for me. Since I am not normally the "scholarly" type, my time spent reading and discussing theologians, philosophers, and discussing my beliefs with others in the class was an experience I will never forget. I didn't always agree with everything presented, which added to the discussions, but it was very interesting to hear other participants' views on the lessons each week. If I had it to do over again, I would quit stressing over my lessons each week (will I remember everything I read?) and just enjoy the lessons for what they were, a tool for discussion and learning. It definitely helped me grow in my spiritual walk with my God and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to grow spiritually. Lisa Buchanan
EPISCOBELLIANS: will start up again in September. See you then! Tina Smith, Director
