CCT Pastors, Community Servant-Leaders Attend Hermeneutics Seminar

Twenty-seven staff from different CCT programs and 14 community leaders attended a four-day seminar on  Biblical hermeneutics. The speaker was Pastor Felix Ballon, a California-based Filipino pastor working with the Christian and Missionary Alliance.

Biblical hermeneutics is the theory and methodology of interpreting scriptural texts.  Pastora Cerela Sumido, CCT's spiritual development coordinator, said the objectives of the seminar were to help attendees:
  • learn to study the general principles of biblical interpretation
  • hone their skills in interpreting the Scriptures
  • develop the habit of study and research.
