Maybee

This course is designed to integrate the concept and theology of mission with the challenges of congregational life and the call for creative participation in contexts that are undergoing deep and radical change. It will provide a framework for understanding organizational and family systems as they affect congregations, and offer tools to prepare people for adaptive change and leadership in the local and global neighbourhoods where God is at work.

Using an action/reflection process students will complete and discuss readings and undertake and reflect on an activity each week. Building on weekly assignments students will integrate their learnings into the form of a congregational case study.
