Christian Formation Resources

Charter for Lifelong Christian Formation

New Wine from the Vineyard

New Wine from the Vineyard is a quarterly cyber publication designed to “invite, inspire, and transform Christian education/formation in this diocese and beyond. Its intent is to provide news, practical ideas, interviews, reviews and links to resources, exploration of issues, and a forum for discussion of all the many aspects of our common ministries. In addition, they feature reprints of timeless articles from The Vineyard of the past.

Resource Room

The Ministry Resource Room is a service provided to the friends and members of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon by the Ministry of Christian Education and Lifelong Formation.

Just as the familiar title "Christian Education" has been expanded to include “Lifelong Formation”, the materials in the Ministry Resource Room have evolved from resources that support Sunday School, to materials supporting all Christian Ministries.

Anti-Bullying Resources

These anti-bullying resources were compiled in response to last year’s convention resolution.
