THEO 673 - Pastoring To The Public

3 Credits

This course will consider two related roles of a local pastor which require self-understanding, strategic/leadership skills and theological insights not necessarily practiced in regular duties of parish ministry. Further, it will consider the tensions between the pastoral and prophetic tensions in parish ministry. Such situations include occasions when a pastor is called to minister in public tragedy and community grief and in times of significant social/political/moral conflict affecting both the local congregation and the local community.
