SEMINAR DESCRIPTION

A course which introduces students to an overview of the history of Christian mission, with attention given to histories written from different cultural traditions. The theory of mission is explored within this examination of histories through a focused attention on key persons, events and movements.

APPROACH

Participants will access and use resources that assist them in studying and reflecting on the history and theory of mission throughout the past 2000 years. Extensive reading in the literature will provide an introduction to this study. Attention will be given to the history and theory of mission with a special emphasis on developments since the 16^th century. Different cultural perspectives will be studied.

The primary project for this course will be for students to draw on materials from their readings and discussions in shaping an applied theory and strategy for mission in relationship to the context in which they anticipate working and teaching in future years.

OBJECTIVES

Each seminar participant will . . .

1. Gain an understanding of the sources available for the study of the history and theory of mission.

2. Develop an understanding of differences in approaching mission studies from Western and non-Western perspectives.

3. Become familiar with the historical unfolding of the mission of the church throughout the past two centuries.

4. Become familiar with key figures, events, and movements in the history of mission which lend understanding toward developing a theory of mission.

5. Engage in active conversation and discussion with their peers around the subject matter of the seminar.

6. Complete a seminar project that develops an applied theory and strategy for mission to a particular context.

COURSE FORMAT AND REQUIREMENTS

Course Structure

The seminar will meet weekly to engage in discussion of the assigned reading and projects for that week. Students will be expected to facilitate the discussion around papers and projects that are assigned to them.

Course Requirements

Increase academically and intellectually the knowledge base for congregational studies and mission within a theological framework at the doctoral level of study by:

Carefully read and reflect on the major authors of the course
Thoughtfully engage these materials within a theologically reflective conversation

Increase critical capacities in theological hermeneutics of social scientific models of research.

STANDARDS: The standards by which the successful achievement of the objectives will be measured are as follows:

1. Ability to handle the basic categories and positions with precision and clarity. This includes reformulating classical and traditional language into one’s own words and constructing a theological position that undergirds an effective ministry and research

2. Knowledge of basic vocabulary demonstrated by fluent and intelligent use of it in theological discourse

3. Ability to discern and evaluate between conflicting viewpoints so as to delineate issues in a clarifying manner that fosters further fruitful research and mission

Learning As Conversation

Conversation is the central mode of learning in this seminar. The conversation is to be progressive, reflective, and open. Each seminar participant seeks to speak in one’s own voice and listen with an attentiveness and openness to the other in a way that includes a willingness to being changed by what one hears. This involves risking change in one’s self and views while remaining committed to the value of this process. This is a collaborative rather than an adversarial process.

The conversation is disciplined. It has purposeful continuity—not simply and casually declaring our views but engaging others in their response to our views. The purpose here is to move the conversation forward, moving from where it has been and toward where it seems to be going, by contributing to the determination of where it goes. We are seeking freedom within discipline in our conversation like a concert pianist who works within the limits of the instrument and the composition and tries to realize them in a new way that speaks to the experience of both the performer and the audience.

This view of the conversation of the seminary on which we are about to embark is one in which the activity of conversation is viewed as valuable in and of itself—it is how we constitute a community among ourselves. We may come to some settled judgments along the way, some of which are surprising to us in terms of who we have been, but that is not the primary purpose of our activity.

The seminar will follow the tradition of the German seminar style (as the instructor learned it in Heidelberg and Munich). Each session will include a substantial presentation by either a guest or a member of the seminar. Each substantial presentation has one respondents. The first respondent attends to opening up questions with the presenter and with the rest of the seminar (Cf. Sign up sheet).

Each session will also have an assigned journalist. The journalist will take notes and prepare a written summary of the discussion in time to hand out to the next seminar. The journal entry should be more than a series of quotations or notations. Rather, the journalist is responsible to note the main themes and topics of the session, where it ties to previous conversation in the seminar, in service of the on going conversation. Beginning with the third session, each session of the seminar begins with a presentation of the journalist of the next installment of the Seminar Journal (Cf. Sign up sheet) and a rehearsal by the last week’s presenter of how the conversation of the last week changed his/her thinking on the topic of the presentation.

REQUIREMENTS & EVALUATION: Each seminar participant is required to complete the following requirements with the relative values demonstrated (100 points). Multiple responses and journaling will be considered acts of supererogation that will be considered in many ways on the day of reckoning.

1. Seminar Participation (20 points)

2. Presenter (20 points)

3. Respondent (15 points)

4. Journalist (15 points)

5. Paper (30 points)

Seminar Paper

Students will write a seminar research paper on a topic of their choice. They will choose this topic with the approval of the instructor. In the paper they will critically examine a subject, scholarly work, figure, or line of argument of their choice related to the problems and issues related to their work as a doctoral student and teacher of the church. The final draft of the paper is due by 5:00 p.m. in the instructors’ faculty box in Gullixson Hall, on Friday, May 11, 2007. Students will be expected to carefully exposit a major subject, scholarly work, or figure from those surveyed in the course. This exposition should evidence ample attending and listening to the source materials before engaging in overt critique and integration into a line of argument. Papers shall be typed, double-spaced of 20-30 pages in length. Students should provide a rough draft before March 30^th, 2007.
