This unit engages students in a guided process of relational, reflective learning in a specific faith or service community, including the use of specific community mentors/reflection partners. Skills for practical ministry are central to the unit: spiritual disciplines, active listening, discernment practices, communication, self-awareness, working in a team and integrating theology into practice. The content for the reflection is normally based within a congregational or other primary ministry setting and normal compliance requirements for the context will apply.
