Abstract
This article addresses the need for formation in the education of future ministers within a Christian community from a specific angle. Starting with a provisional definition of formation and ministry, this article elaborates on three aspects of formation for ministry that comprise of dilemmas it faces: whether spiritual formation is manageable; to what degree embeddedness in church-practices and academic reflection are contradictory; and whether theology is about content or method. This article opens up a new way of thinking through formation for ministry from the angle of liturgical formation as a possible way to deal with the three dilemmas noted.
