CHHM 570B - Diakonia: Missional Service - Part 2

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Christian Heritage and Mission

Description:

This module focuses on a biblical-theological vision for the missional nature of Christian faith and the patterns of life, action and speech which that requires. We identify the importance of this for an understanding of the nature of the Church and its perceived mission in other times and places. Learners form a vision for incarnational service in, with and through the church, in dialogue with social and cultural factors that contribute to ministry in the 21st century. The learner will identify and develop personal postures, approaches, and capacities that support effective, confident cultivation and leadership in missional communities. The Openseminary one-week, on-ground experience consists of full-day class sessions and engagement with teacher-practitioners in the field of study. Openseminary M.T.S. program course.
