COURSE DESCRIPTION: This introductory-level theology course will focus on Christianity within a rapidly-changing context. Critical engagement with Phyllis Tickle’s description of “emergence Christianity” will provide a starting point for discussion. We will examine the major changes that are taking place both in our society and in Christianity. What frameworks are being challenged and by whom) and what new ones are emerging? Participants will reflect on implications for the church today as they think about the mission of the church and about leadership, ministry, and discipleship. Participants will learn how to engage in theological conversations as they read, interpret, and respond to their own context.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

- wishing to pursue graduate theological education without earning a degree; and/or
