Mentoring: Discussion Starters for Pastoral Interns in Grace Communion International

Grace Communion International is a denomination that went through dramatic theological and doctrinal change in the early 1990 s. In the midst of change GCI s Ambassador University, the feeder system for training new pastors was closed. In the building of a new system to train Pastoral Interns a need was recognized to produce written material for meaningful ministry dialogue between Pastoral Interns and Life Mentors in GCI. Through the cooperative, creative work of the Advisory Team a selection of nine pastoral essays were written and then field tested with ten Pastoral Interns and their Life Mentors.
