PUBLIC SPEAKING-PUBLIC VOICE-SPEECHCOMMUNICATION AND MINISTRY (PR 4559)
Term: 2014-2015 Spring Semester
Description
A call to ministry invites and compels imagination about one?s vocation as a public theologian. This course is an introduction to the primary skills of oral communication, the principles of rhetoric, and the various kinds of discourse and speaking techniques necessary for effective public speaking and leadership. Designed both for students with little public speaking background as well as those wanting to hone their communication skills, this course will encourage students to identify strengths and areas of growth in delivery, to discover and develop their unique voice for the sake of incarnational ministry, and to gain confidence in their ability to articulate their own theological thinking.
