Description

As the church faces the future, key issues are ecclesiological ? the very nature and purpose of the church. This course will encourage students to shape a vision of the church that will sustain their ministry in the years ahead. Students will explore questions such as: What are the marks of a faithful church? How is church membership different from membership in civic or political organizations? How should the church deal with divisive issues? Is church division ever faithful ? and if so, under what conditions? And how can the church be a community that both encourages us in the Christian life and holds us accountable?
