This course provides a study of the principles and practices of parish administration and leadership within the Orthodox Christian tradition. It explores both the spiritual and practical dimensions of leading a parish, emphasizing the development of pastoral, administrative, and leadership skills. Students will examine models of leadership, models of people management, financial management, community engagement, legal issues facing parishes, and the pastoral care necessary for effective parish leadership. The course aims to equip future clergy and lay leaders with the knowledge and tools needed to foster healthy, vibrant parish communities.
This course will explain, define, and contextualize the history, theology, artistic form, and scriptural basis for Church iconography.
