A Discussion on the Future of the Church
Sponsored by the Institute for Pastoral Leadership
June 14-15, 2012
Princeton Theological Seminary’s School of Christian Vocation and Mission
Overview
This course will provide both projections about the future church and about the current paths to that future. Participants are invited into a discussion to envision a way how they might contribute and make an impact on the future of the church. This course will be a “participatory learning environment”, where each has an opportunity to relate the material and newer insights in relationship to their ministry context. There will be lectures, interactive seminars, and a panel discussion.
