The Oikonomia Network has shared an article by minister, educator, and Regent College Senate member David Nacho. The article reflects on the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman to explore a model for theological education in Latin America. David draws on his experience with CETI (the Spanish acronym for the Community for Interdisciplinary Theological Education) to speak to how meaningful theological reflection begins not with authority or expertise, but with vulnerability and dialogue.

The writing is excerpted from a new book called At This Time: Dialogues in Theological Education edited by Corwin Malcolm Davis and Ted A. Smith. This volume features contributions from theological educators from a variety of backgrounds who share a common attunement to trends in the church and society that affect theological learning communities.

The Oikonomia Network is a learning community of theological educators dedicated to raising up church leaders who help people develop whole-life discipleship, fruitful work, and economic wisdom for God’s people and God’s world.
