The Asbury Healing Academy
Asbury Seminary, deeply rooted in the Wesleyan, Evangelical Holiness tradition of the Christian faith has long been a place of healing and transformation for persons preparing for ministry. In order to accomplish our mission of preparing well trained, sanctified, Spirit-filled ministers, we aim to provide a context rich with resources for transformation and the healing of brokenness. The term brokenness denotes a full range of conditions, including physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual and social issues which serve to create barriers to the receipt and appropriation of divine grace. In fact, a key dimension of the biblical term “equip” is the idea of mending. Owing to numerous cultural factors, not the least of which are deeply flawed approaches to family life and the devastating models of sexuality being advanced by mass media, the presence of all forms of brokenness are manifold. In addition to providing ways and means for her students to appropriate healing in their own lives, the seminary must progressively offer the theological and practical resources required to equip and empower persons to be healing agents in the context of the local church and para church ministries.
With gratitude to the Dora Tes Basileas Foundation, we are pleased to announce the establishment of the Asbury Healing Academy whose purpose and intention is to:
- enrich the nature of Asbury Theological Seminary as a community of healing, and
- expand the nature of Asbury Theological Seminary as a community of practicing ministers/ healers; through
- providing an ongoing curriculum and co-curriculum designed to equip students, spouses and outside practitioners with the wisdom, dispositions and practical skills to engage in the ministries of Christian healing, and
- offering a supervised practicum-oriented training school for the equipping and empowering of students and spouses for the practice of healing ministry within the seminary community.
