Description
In our changing contexts, today’s Christian leaders need, more than ever, to be able to cultivate new communities that can discern and join in the Spirit’s initiatives. Students will engage in practices of presence, hospitality, conversation, and examen, study innovative forms of Christian community, and develop the imagination and habits needed to develop and lead new Christian communities that are contextually-appropriate, spiritually-vibrant, and theologically-grounded.
As a result of this course, engaged students will:
• Imagine faithful fresh expressions of church as communities joining the missio Dei
• Cultivate habits of missional life and spiritual discernment in context
• Develop skills for forming new initiatives in Christian community and mission
