This course, and its companion, PM 502, provides a foundation in practical areas of parish ministry in the Anglican context with focus on the following areas of ministry: Leadership and Administration (self-organization, emotional maturity, team dynamics, managing volunteers, raising up leaders, vestry leadership, finances, and stewardship); Polity and Canon Law (including the structure of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion); and Catechesis (particularly in preparation for baptism, confirmation, and marriage, with special attention to the post-modern context).
