This workshop explores methods of reflecting upon ministry experiences to recognize God active in our lives. This method of reflection can be fruitfully applied to various ministries.
What is “theological reflection,” why is this skill so important in the practice of ministry, and how can it be done? In this course we study various methods of theological reflection and try out a few, drawing on sources ranging from books on the topic to sacred art, the charisms of religious orders, and popular devotions. We will explore these matters together, mindful of the role each of us in our ministry plays in the providential working of God in the world.
