Summer 2013

An introduction to a variety of multi-disciplinary tools for leadership in ministry. Through shared learning and case studies, together with theological reflection on our own practices, we will develop the courage and imagination needed for leadership. Pre-course readings, lecture, discussion, case studies.

This is a practical course for students beginning their preparation in liturgical leadership. The course will walk students through the office of evening prayer and the Eucharistic liturgy from the perspective of different liturgical roles, attending to issues in public speaking, ritual movement, choices and uses of liturgical music, and comprehension of the shape of the liturgy. Because this is a workshop course, active participation in the class and in the assigned liturgical roles in class form the basis for evaluation. The intended audience is students preparing for liturgical leadership in Anglican churches.

This one-week course pays special attention to the ways in which the Bible and Anglicanism have shaped each other.   We will examine classical Anglican approaches to scripture in the areas of tradition and doctrine, worship, mission, history, and diversity and communion. There will be a special focus on the application and pertinence of these ways of studying and living with the Bible to our present day ministry. Presentations, discussion, group exercises.

This course may be taken for CEUs only, and is not part of the primary Anglican Immersion program. However, it may be taken in conjunction with the afternoon Anglican Immersion course.
