This page has many useful links for students of this course. There are links to those of our sponsoring Dioceses who have web sites as well as links for book and internet resources, personal spirituality, theological seminaries, and other web sites that we thought might be useful. We will be updating this page regularly, so come back and visit it, often. In order to make this page easier to navigate, the sections on Other Useful Links, Theological Seminaries and Anglican Dioceses and Parishes will open in a new, More Links, page. Please note that all the links will open into a new browser page. You need only close the new page in order to return to the EFM - Canada website.
