The Art of Transitional Ministry (Part 1)
The Art of Transitional Ministry Part 1 introduces students to intentional transitional ministry leadership. Once called Interim Ministry, The Art of Transitional Ministry Part 1 introduces students to the Arc of Transitional Ministry - featuring deeper conversations about entering systems, assessing needs, considering history and current context, considering the role of conflict and healthy departing. We start in a place believing all ministry is transitional and that understanding congregational systems theory undergirds the work we do. Our goal is to provide pastors with tools for leading in the midst of transition while providing a supportive and safe learning community for exploration and questioning.

Fighting for Christian Identity: The Role of Women
Jesus groups in the first and second centuries engaged in extensive experimentation with the boundaries of communal identity. The diversity of these experiments led to conflict, both within groups and between groups and outsiders. We can find evidence of these conflicts preserved within the writings of these early groups, most often in the context of discussions of the status and role of women. Gender was an important tool both in identity experimentation and formation for these groups, and therefore in setting boundaries as well. While later Christianity became fiercely patriarchal, we can still recover the voices of those who challenged conventions of gender in their negotiations of their Jesus group identities. The Acts of Paul and Thecla offers one significant opportunity to hear these voices, and this course will use this little known story to frame our discussions of how communities of the Anointed discovered and developed who they were.
