Cultivating a Relationship with God. Upper Room, 1997. Rediscovering the Gospel for These Times. Attendance at all sessions is expected. In order to complete the course with a passing grade, no more than one session may be missed.
Students are to prepare for each class session by carefully reading the assigned texts.
The entries may include fruits of meditation upon scripture, pastoral experience, and discernment of God's work in life through daily events. Students are required to complete five book reviews. Each review is to be 3-4 pages in length. Students may choose one of the seven themes addressed in the course as a topic to study in greater depth. Topics should be chosen early in the semester so that students can conduct research and reflect upon interweaving themes and their significance for their own spirituality and ministry throughout the semester.
