 Call for Papers: Deadline 15 May 2005 (must be received by this date)

Adult Education for the Laity

We are inviting submissions for a special issue of the Journal of Adult
Theological Education that focuses on the education of laity. The Journal
provides a refereed, scholarly, written forum for the dissemination of
research on all areas affecting the education of adults. This issue will
feature North American and Australian writers and will be published in early
2006.

Education of the laity occurs in a number of formats:  formal for-credit
programs, either in schools of theology or church sponsored diploma
programs; nonformal seminars, workshops and retreats; and informally through
homilies, dialogue, mentoring and self-directed learning projects. This
issue focuses on the adult education questions that undergird this
educational and learning experience.

Topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to:

*         Are distance education and faith development incompatible?

*         Relating transformative learning theory to lay education.

*         How do we know they know? Evaluation of lay education.

*         Supporting laity in their self-directed learning.

*         Are critical thinking and lay education compatible?

*         Is lay education making a difference?

*        Collaborating with clergy: Working together to make a difference.

*        Spirituality of the laity.    

*        Jewish and Christian perspectives on adult religious/ theological
education.  

*        Faith development of laity - does education make a difference? 

 All essays should be anchored in the literature of adult education theory
and practice, and should make clear the research framework employed
(historical, practical, qualitative research, quantitative research,
model-building, comparative analysis, etc).  For more information about the
journal and for style requirements go to:
