Our good friends at the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity have an exciting opportunity to share with you! We’ve always known that the folks at LICC had their heads on straight about theological education – and not only because they’ve been telling UK seminaries to be like the Oikonomia Network.
David Heywood, one of the UK’s most experienced theological educators, has put together a 12-unit course for LICC called Formation for Enabling Ministry. It’s a course for educators seeking to grow in the transition from preparing future leaders just to know the subjects we teach, to preparing them as effective, resilient whole-life disciplemakers.
You can take the course on your own, but LICC is also putting together a community of practice to do it together over the course of the spring. The group will meet by Zoom to learn together how to learn together!
Get connected to the spring community of practice here. You can also check out the entire course by going here and clicking “log in as a guest” to see the course materials.
This introductory video on the course is another way to get started checking it out:
The course’s fifty hours of material grounds and grows those of us entrusted with teaching disciplemakers, sharing wisdom from adult learning, experiential pedagogy and communities of practice. It’s all geared to help us equip ministers and church leaders to form the whole people of God for the whole mission of God, right where they already are – “on their frontlines,” as the LICC folks say.
Check out this opportunity, and let them know the ON sent you!
