Description
This course explores proclamation and ritual as they intersect with the everyday life and narratives of a gathered community. Pastors will discern ways in which historical Christian practices can become vehicles of change and transformation in their contemporary settings of ministry. At their best, sacred speech and practice help theological affirmations “ring true” for participants, while pushing the community forward/outward in visions of God’s love as that which both motivates and connects us to one another to explore some of the most important facets of congregational ministry integrated with a missional theology as developed in this program.
