PME 603 Evangelism and the Mission of God This course provides a biblical and theological framework that seeks to help students define a theological vision for ministry, particularly in the area of evangelism and mission. Students learn about the dynamic interplay between gospel, culture, theological tradition, and the Missio Dei and will gain an understanding of how to operate at the intersection of those four streams. It also seeks to integrate evangelism and mission and present these concepts as part of the same continuum in the life of faith. To accomplish these goals, the course will address the following topics: What is the gospel? What is culture and how is it formed? What influence does our particular theological tradition play in our understanding of the Great Commission? What is the doctrine of the Missio Dei and what correctives does it offer us? How can we develop integrated evangelism strategies that effectively lead unbelievers to faith and maturity in Jesus Christ? Two hours. PME 604 Worship Theory and Practice This interactive course introduces students to the principles and practice of designing and implementing various forms of Protestant worship experiences. It includes theological instruction and hands-on practice within their own faith tradition, in Protestant settings, the wider Ecumenical Christian community, multi- faith contexts, and secular, community settings. Students will learn how to create, structure, organize, lead, and implement a wide variety of worship and religious services without compromising their personal beliefs and those of their faith community. This course focuses on a holistic worship experience and is not limited to musical worship. Particular attention is given to prayer in secular vs. religious settings. Two hours. PME 605 Worship in the Prayer Book Tradition This twelve-week course is designed to introduce students to the theory and practice of worship and liturgy, with special attention to the Reformation Anglican tradition. Part 1 overviews a biblical theology of worship, including an introduction to modern liturgical theology. Part 2 peers over the shoulder of reformer, Thomas Cranmer, as he put together the Book of Common Prayer, to trace in particular the gospel-centered nature of his principal liturgies. Part 3 moves this vision into application, guiding modern worshipers and liturgical leaders in, firstly, how to prepare for and lead the liturgies contained in our current Prayer Book(s) and secondly, how to work alongside others in the church to lead God's people in gathered worship. Three hours. PME 606 Anglican Pastoral Identity and Practice This capstone course helps students gain a clear vision of the call to full-time Gospel ministry in the Anglican tradition. Over the course of the semester, participants will consider the identity and practice of an Anglican pastor from biblical and historical-theological perspectives, as well as important practical skills such as preaching, leading a vestry and staff, and strategies for spiritually healthy leadership.
