Reconciliation Institute completes second Academic Term.
On 30 April, Reconciliation Institute, which is the Mid-Atlantic Diocese’ satellite campus of The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI), graduated it’s second class of six students who completed Module 2, “The Kingdom of God”. Joining in a Zoom distributed ceremony, the students shared their highlights and projects, and received kudos and a blessing from Bishop Rob Northwood. Retaining four of the five students who completed the first term this past December, this group of students also added a non-CEC student through Saint Michael and All Angels parish in Williamsburg. Student appreciation for the TUMI Capstone Curriculum was such that all of the students continued on unto the summer term, “Conversion and Calling”, while adding another non-CEC student. The summer term will graduate 30 July, and academic mentors Fr. Jeffrey Welch and ADCN Larry Rieger are already preparing for the fall term, “Theology of the Church”, which will begin 13 August.
