With the assumption that the Seminary prepares persons for a “learned ministry,” and that everyone in ministry is a life-long learner, this course introduces various learning styles and strategies, small group dynamics and systems theory, basic theological and biblical terminology, and methods of research and writing in the various theological disciplines. It encourages appropriate professional and personal boundary development and diversity sensitivity, in multiple dimensions including ethnic/racial diversity as well as theological diversity.
This program also acquaints students with the information technology necessary for a productive Seminary experience. Beginning with a retreat experience in which participants share their spiritual pilgrimage as a starting point of theological understanding, the course introduces students to the full-time faculty, and provides a peer support group for the beginning of Seminary studies
Required for all programs, 3 credits
