MIN 5873 The Holy Spirit, Leadership, and Missional Communities
Course considers the practical implications of the belief that the Holy Spirit leads the church into God’s mission. Beyond the typical discussion of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, larger biblical and theological perspectives will be explored, emphasizing the way the Spirit upholds the downtrodden and overlooked, breaks down barriers to create new communities, and increases knowledge of the righteousness of God. Ministry practices are considered in light of these larger understandings of the Holy Spirit’s work.
