Leadership for the Church in a Secular Age
What does it mean to be a Christian—and the
church—in our secular age? More specifically, what does it look like to provide
leadership for a church that responds with Christian integrity and missional effectiveness
to our current social, cultural and political contexts? Examine a diverse range
of historical sources providing unique insight into the meaning of
secularization and the needs of church leaders in “such a time as this.” Delve
into the insights of Augustine and the early church, the Judean exiles, the
church in secularized Europe, and historic minority churches. Adopt an inter-disciplinary
approach, taking into account philosophical, sociological, and historical perspectives.
Leave with a better sense of the specific competencies and spiritual
dispositions required to lead the church in a secular age.
