 We at World and World are excited to launch a new program designed to help young people live into their vocations. If you think that this richly rewarding and rigorous program is right for you, please submit the application form by February 15, 2011

The Word and World Mentoring Program puts motivated, passionate 22-30-year-olds with a thirst for justice and a hunger for formation in conversation with some of the most influential and committed radical theologians and activist-scholars of our day. This year-long course of study and reflection is one answer to what lay theologian William Stringfellow might have called a vocational question—namely, in the face of globalization, political division, environmental degradation, and a culture of violence, what is theological education for? While there are many theology programs which offer credentials for careers in the academy or institutional church, few options equip everyday disciples for the ongoing work of living an alternative vision of community, downward mobility, reconciliation, and social transformation. The Word and World Mentoring Program addresses the need for people engaged in movements for social transformation- (“the Movement”),- to be sustained by Scripture studies, critical reflection, and the history of struggles for change.
