Forming Disciples: Third Year Capstone

XD3001Z / XD9001Z

Forming Disciples is focused on developing skills in leadership for students preparing for ordination or other leadership roles within the Anglican Church. This unit builds on the rest of the Mission and Mission stream and integrates the concepts of practical theology, pastoral care, communicating the Word of God and leadership with practical skills-based workshops. This unit has in-built skills clinics where students will have opportunities to hone their practice in preparation for completion of their degree. The final portfolio presentation will allow students to demonstrate how their studies have developed their personal practice of ministry in a variety of missional contexts.
