SUMMARY:Winter Intensive: Church: Gods Polycentric Experimental Community
DESCRIPTION:Five Day Intensive\nRev Assoc Prof Geoff Thompson\, Rev Prof John Flett & Prof Amy Platinga Pauw \nThis unit explores the roots of the Christian community in the messianic ministry of the crucified and risen Jesus Christ and the sending of the Spirit. It highlights the diverse embodiments of the church found in the New Testament and presents them as evidence of the ferment and de facto experimentation which characterised the formation and self-understandings of early Christianity. The ecclesiologies built around the classic marks of the church will be surveyed\, but this survey will demonstrate that such ecclesiologies often obscure the experimentation which properly belongs to reflections on the Christian community. The Reformation’s disruption of the Western church\, the modern missionary and ecumenical movements\, the emergence of the ‘global church\,’ and ecclesiastical scandals and corruption all provide the background to the contemporary recognition of ecclesiological ferment and recent discussions about the polycentricity of Christianity. This ferment will be framed Christologically and pneumatologically in ways that provide theological foundations for experimental reflection on the church’s mission\, structures\, and sacramental practices. The unit will include some focus on the relevance of these issues to the vocation of the Uniting Church in Australia. \n  \n  \nDELIVERY NOTES This intensive will extend over five days straddling the third weekend of July (with a rest day on the Sunday). The unit will include an evening public lecture to be delivered by Prof Amy Plantinga Pauw on July 18th\, 7:30 pm at Brunswick Uniting Church\, 214 Sydney Road\, Brunswick. Online support will be provided between the conclusion of the intensive and the conclusion of the assessment tasks. \nPREREQUISITES CT100P \n  \nTo see more details about our Winter Intensives for 2024\, click here. \n  \nLearning Outcomes and Assessment Details\nUndergraduate (CT2011P) \n\nArticulate the key critical issues in theological debates about the nature\, purposes and practices of Christianity communities.\nExplain the emergence of Christian Communities as the consequence of Jesus’ messianic ministry.\nDescribe the diversity of the ecclesiologies indicated in the New Testament\nExplain the significance of the Reformation\, the modern ecumenical movement\, and the polycentric ‘global church’ for contemporary discussions of ministry and mission.\nIntegrate the themes of polycentricity and experimentation into an understanding of the church’s witness in contemporary Australia\, with particular reference to the vocation of the Uniting Church in Australia\n\nAssessment \nTask 1 – Learning Resource – Study Guide for a Local Community of Faith \nA Study Guide which introduces the diverse ecclesiologies of the New Testament intended for use in a local community of faith.
