Description:

J. Bradley Wigger This course explores families as they potentially serve as "means of grace" not only fortheir own members but also for the church and larger society. Insights from the human sciences and the arts will be engaged in relation to theological convictions and experience in order more deeply to understand the shifting as well as persistent situations of families in all their beauty, misery, power, and mystery. Students will have the opportunity to reflect upon and design ways in which congregations and their leadership can encourage educational ministry with and within families. How can churches be a resource for families and vice versa How does a younger generation learn the practices of faith How do families teach moral and ultimate concern to one another in their words, loves, hates, life-styles, and activities What can a teaching ministry do This course fulfills the Teaching Ministry requirement for the Master of Divinity degree program.
