Description
This course attends to leading change in the midst of particular communities and their distinct contextual realities with a system’s point of view. In this course, students will expand their leadership capacity by engaging systems theory while leading and being in dialogue with a particular ministry context. With their ministry context as a primary conversation partner, students will critically reflect on themselves as leaders, discover the communal nature of leadership, explore different spiritual practices, and develop their own leadership practices. Particular attention will be given to praxis, contextualization, and integrative approaches to ministry which will be connected to the student's degree program or concentration of study. The format for this course includes weekly classes and small groups sessions, in addition to weekly leadership in a ministry context. This course has a requirement of at least 100 hours of field education for MA students and 300 hours for M. Div. student
