CASE STUDIES INCLUDED THE EDUCATION OF PHYSICIANS, CITIZENS, AND BUSINESS EXECUTIVES, THE PRESBYTERIAN INSTITUTE OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, ADULT EDUCATION ASSOCIATION, THE COLLEGE OF PREACHERS, AND SAN FRANCISCO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY'S IN-SERVICE DOCTORAL PROGRAM FOR PASTORAL MINISTRY. FOLLOWING SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS, THE CONSULTATION RECOMMENDED THAT SEMINARIES PREPARE MATERIALS FOR MINISTERS TO USE IN HOME STUDY ON AN ORDERLY, SUSTAINED BASIS THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREERS, EXAMINE THEIR TEACHING PHILOSOPHY AND METHODS IN LIGHT OF THE MULTIPLE ROLES OF THE MODERN MINISTER, AND THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF THE MINISTRY, NATIONAL COUNCIL OF THE CHURCHES OF CHRIST IN THE U.S.A. CONVENE A NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR MINISTERS TO PLAN LEADERSHIP CONFERENCES, ASSEMBLE AND DISSEMINATE INFORMATION ON CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR MINISTERS, AND WRITE GUIDELINES FOR NEW PROGRAMS.
