Cd 511 X The Pastor And Christian Discipleship, Catherine Stonehouse

Syllabi

You can anticipate navigating through biblical and social science models of understanding, teaching, learning, and faith developing. Lay ministers (volunteers) require nurturing, training, and guiding.

St 501 Method And Praxis In Theology, Zaida Maldonado Perez

Syllabi

“Why am I doing what I am doing the way I am doing it (and not another way)?” In the 12th century, Anselm of Canterbury expressed the desire to deepen his knowledge and therefore also his relationship to God as “faith seeking understanding.” Others have stated it by asking “what would Jesus do?” or, “how can I be faithful in this time and place?” All of these questions have a key common denominator--a conscious effort to understand in order to better our service and our relationship to God, to our communities, to the world.
