Description
CPL is designed to provide short-term contextual education placements in which students can explore academic and theological questions in a real-world environment. CPL therefore partners effectively with other tagged courses that require a contextual/immersion experience in a congregation- or community-based organization. Additionally, with this context as their primary conversation partner students will critically reflect on themselves as leaders, discover the communal nature of leadership, and develop their own leadership practices. Throughout the semester, students will work with their mentor (both independently and in cohorts) to develop learning goals, achieve those goals through participation in the life of the organization, and assess their progress at the conclusion of the course. FE 0525 Christian Public Leader is a 0.5 credit elective available any semester to MDiv students.
