Practical Foundations for Leadership: Leading in Context

SIGN INTO POPULI to enrol

Description: Building on the skills and understanding of Theological and Spiritual Foundations for Pastoral and Public Leadership (PT500), Leading in Context will provide method and opportunity to explore potential practicum sites that combine leadership challenges, ministry possibilities and offer excellent learning opportunities in pastoral and public ministry.  To be effective in ministry practice and leadership in the public sphere, it is critical to understand the field and its demands, expectations, and possibilities. Preparation for practice of ministry is not introduced simply as skill development but rather as the formation of leaders who will understand and respond to the continually changing landscape of contemporary ministry and navigate communities in the art of resourced and adaptive change.

PT505 (Leading in Context) runs concurrently with Theological Field Education – Exploration (TFE-E), which is required for all students in the MDiv and MA-PPL degrees.  During this Spring Term course, students explore potential field sites where they might follow up on their vocational interests expressed in the work of PT 500.

Prerequisites: PT500

This class is available both in person and online via Zoom (synchronous only)
