Description

This course is a historical, theological, and practice exploration of the role of the pastor as leader of adaptive change. It re-interprets the key marks of ordained ministry?word, sacrament, order, and service?for the new missional context. The aim is one of transition from a focus on the pastor as adaptive change leader into a focus on the pastor?s congregation as missional community, and therefore, the need for an appropriate ecclesiology.
