I recently came across news about the 2008 Congress of the World Conference of Associations of Theological Institutions (WOCATI). The key theme of the congress was "Theological Education: A Radical Reappraisal." Attendees looked at the modern challenges of theological schools and offered recommendations. Among these recommendations were for funding partners to "increase financial support for ecumenical theological education," while churches themselves must "strengthen their sense of responsibility to and ownership of their institutions of theological education in terms of regular support, accompaniment and encouragement."
A Christianity Today article about the congress can be found here, as well.
