Is part-time training as good an ‘education for ministry’ as the equivalent number of years full-time?
Yes. The content of the STETS course over three years is comparable to a two year full time course. The period of residence is obviously less than in a full time college course. The STETS course has six residential weekends and an eight day residential course in each year, and the overall demands of the course,: the tutorials, the lectures, the reading, the assignments and practical commitments, are similar to the demands made by a full-time course.
