Leadership in Ministry – Tradition, Change, and Entrepreneurship
Announcing the CYF summer elective course: Taught by visiting instructor Bård Norheim (coming to us from Norway!), this class examines the intersection between tradition and change. It will prepare you to reflect constructively on your own context and background to equip you to negotiate the roles of tradition, change, and ecclesial entrepreneurship in the present and future. This course will have an RFS in June and then mostly asynchronous online learning after, with two synchronous Zoom sessions. Contact Ryan Popineau (rpopineau001@luthersem.edu) for more info.
