WSP 901 - Theology of Sacrament & Story

3 credits
Draws on historical and theological foundations for worship and spirituality through critical reflection on the acts of preaching, teaching, story-telling and imaginative interpretation of Scripture. Ministerial leaders live and breathe at the intersection of stories that are secular and sacred, human and holy. Communities of faith construct narratives that signify the traditions that shape their ministries in healing or wounding ways. This course will explore the use of narrative in personal identity and congregational development. Course objective: to understand the role of worship and spiritual formation in one’s particular denominational tradition and congregational history. Term project includes a written spiritual-theological portrait of one’s “parish” (congregational or ministry context). Offered at Drew during fall term 2004.
