(formerly PRAX 420/720 ZM Critical Reflection on Praxis of Ministry) This course is an intensive case-based peer group action-reflection course for students who have a weekly ministry setting. The course will foster participant’s understanding of pastoral ministry, especially the contextual development of persons in community and congregation, as participants intentionally integrate their praxes of ministry, systematic theology, and pastoral formation. Students will write learning goals, pastoral case assessments, make regular presentations on praxis of ministry, and evaluate their progress. MDiv: This course is a partial completion of the degree requirement for the Critical Reflection on Praxis of Ministry requirement. The other parts of the requirement include ministry placement, and individual supervision, which needs to be overseen by the Director of Contextual Education. Please note that ELCA, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist, and some other denominations require a Clinical Pastoral Education unit for those training for ordination. This course does not fulfill that requirement. If you have taken CPE, this course may be taken as an elective in addition to that requirement. [Pre-requisite: PTH 110-formerly PRAX 110 Pastoral Theology or by Professor’s approval]. DMin: As with MDiv, MA’s, this course requires a ministry context, although does not require a supervisory relationship. An additional paper on a Pastoral Issue of the participant’s choosing is required.
This purpose of this course is to examine, understand, and recognize the signs of clergy and pastoral burnout. Burnout may happen because the clergy member is viewed as an influential person with many responsibilities. Some signs are diminished energy, reduced personality, perception of dependence and despondency, and the expansion of sarcastic mindsets (Brewer, 2016). The topics examined and discussed in this course are three typical clergy and pastoral experiences during burnout and three standard stages of burnout clergy and pastors experience.
