Seminar title: Connecting the Content of Theological Coursework to People’s Lives
Bridging the sacred/secular divide in theological education is a big curricular and pedagogical challenge. It can be daunting! In this seminar, we will look at some common ways theological educators take “first steps” toward bridging the divide by taking a fresh look at syllabi and adopting new pedagogical approaches. Our focus will be stimulating your creativity in thinking about how to take the “next step” in bridging the divide, regardless of where you are now in the journey.
