A Holistic Vision of the Gospel: The Indian School Expanding Our Concept of TE | Dr. Stephen George

What if theological education was more than a seminary? Maybe even more than a school? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Stephen George, president of Asian Christian Academy (ACA) in India, to discuss how ACA is moving beyond a traditional theological education institution to effectively meet the needs of the community around them. In this episode, we discuss: • The origins of Asian Christian Academy • How ACA is moving to meet the needs of its community beyond theological education • Having an extended impact over time as a theological education institution • How institutions can expand past their formal education into informal pastoral training Links: • Asian Christian Academy: https://www.acaindia.org/ • Evangelical Theological Seminary: https://www.ets-india.org/ Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro: A new vision for theological education 2:07 - Inside the ACA campus 4:39 - The 50-year vision: from bare land to a thriving campus 18:46 - Balancing Western theology with the Indian context 23:44 - Training untrained pastors 30:51 - Wisdom for leaders and reimagining the future
