L. Zoe Cole
Theology is not the specialty of ivory towers and dusty corners, it is the privilege and responsibility of all the people of God. My lifelong interest in education and formation has guided my work in the church and the secular world. I have worked with laity and with clergy in a variety of calls and ordained vocations, in designing, implementing, and evaluating corporate compliance, ethics, legal and religious education. Recently, this interest resulted in my completing a PhD in religious and theological studies, focused on theology/theological anthropology, philosophy, and cultural theory. My church-wide involvement has also helped me to understand the needs and structure of many different levels and areas of church ministry and governance. I believe I bring the requisite skills and experience to work independently and in teams to help assure that candidates for ordained ministry within are adequately prepared for their various ministries within and on behalf of the church.
