Ministering at the Margins |
W (Session II) 6 PM - 9 PM |
Amanda Quantz | Online |
6/27, 7/11 9 am - 3 pm |
|
Course Description: The servant leadership model of ministry is not only biblical, it represents the best of Christian tradition and history. It is also “marginal” by nature: lived along the edges of society. Informed by Jesus’ distinctive commitment to those who are ignored, overlooked or undervalued, as a prophetic vocation, ministering at the margins is a life-giving and precarious mode of faithful discipleship. The course explores theological sources that underlie the theoretical basis for pastoral care among marginalized populations, as well as case studies in street ministry. With an emphasis on practical applications, students engage in theological reflection while cultivating their pastoral skills for prophetic work among the people of God. RJUS Emphasis course. |

Course Description: This course prepares students to lead collaboratively in a Church shaped by communion, participation, and co-responsibility for mission. Rooted in the vision of Vatican II and the renewal of the lay apostolate, students examine how lay and ordained ministers share responsibility for the Church’s life and evangelizing work. Emphasis is placed on cultivating synodal practices of listening, dialogue, discernment, and shared decision-making that strengthen trust and accountability within parishes and ministry settings. Participants will develop the capacity to foster cultures of collaboration in which diverse gifts are recognized and the whole People of God actively participate in the Church’s mission. An elective course. |
