Take part in a global survey on theological education

The World Council of Churches has launched a global online survey of theological education to gather perspectives on all forms of theological education from every Christian tradition around the world. The basic tool for research is an extended questionnaire on trends, conditions and needs in theological education. The survey is aimed at theological educational institutions, regional and global associations of theological schools and individuals responsible for programmes of theological education aiming at ministerial formation for churches in world Christianity.

To take part in the survey please follow this link:

The survey is being promoted by the WCC's Ecumenical Theological Education programme.
