Last Issue and the 2011 Summer Schedule

The last regular issue of the MFCA newsletter, Candidates' Care, is off the press. The MFCA will no longer publish a regular monthly newsletter and will communicate mostly by way of website, newsfeeds and blogs. There may still be an occassional special edition planned for occassions such as when new schedules being released. See the tentative schedule for the summer of 2011 below...

The newsletter started as TEA Times, named for the agency at that time, the Theological Education Agency (TEA). It has served as an effective communication tool and will provide us with an historical trail of what happened when, if not of the past twenty-five years, at least we have a recorded history for Cor's nineteen years. It has caused folks to react in appreciation as well as anger. Cor remembers well the time he wrote about the family dog having to be euthanized and how the office received an outpouring of empathy as well as strong criticism for using a professional journal for personal therapeutic reflections.
