Description
In this seminar, students will be expected to identify and understand the implicit and explicit personal patterns developed over their journeys thus far. It is these patterns that frame self-perceptions and interpersonal relationships. In the process of becoming more fully aware of the factors that have formed their sense of identity, students will be better equipped to expand and enhance their capacity to provide effective pastoral care to God's people. In the naming of developmental influences and themes students will be better able to make transformative shifts in their perceptions and self-expectations. This seminar is designed to create a space for self-discovery as students explore the personal impact of negotiating the wide range of stresses and demands inherent in ministry.
