Calling, Context & the Church (Seminar)

Course Description

How do churches discern and incarnate God’s calling in their communities? How do socio-cultural-geographic and temporal contexts shape a congregation’s response to God’s call? This seminar invites students to explore a multi-faceted approach to the church’s vocation which integrates theological foundations, contextual analysis, insights from contemporary scholars, relevant case studies, and current research, with implications for the church as a learning community. Students will have the opportunity to engage with these ideas with application to their own ecclesial and community contexts.
