Distinctives of Church Movements
This course unit provides students with an opportunity to focus at an advanced level on the movement/denominational distinctives (selected by the college). It enables students to critically examine theological, historical and sociological perspectives within the ministry practice of a specific tradition and to examine how to apply those perspectives to contemporary ministry. Students will explore the selected movement with a view to understanding the requirements and challenges involved in a vocation within that movement.
