SUMMARY:Winter Intensive: Queer Theology
DESCRIPTION:Five Day Intensive\nRev Penny Jones & Rev Dr Josephine Inkpin \nThis unit will explore queer theology as it has emerged from queer theory\, LGBTIQA justice struggles\, and faith development and practice. It will acquaint students with the history and challenges of the term ‘queer’\, and introduce the multiplicity of lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, intersex\, and queer Christian theologies that have emerged in recent decades. It will seek to analyse and critique theological loci and motifs of Christian theology\, including the queering of scripture and hermeneutics and key theological doctrines. Exploring intersectional approaches\, including postcolonial perspectives\, queer art\, action and contemporary reflection\, participants will be enabled to assess critically the value and possibilities of queer theology for faith and society today. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDELIVERY NOTES \nThis course is delivered as a face to face and online synchronous Intensive over five weekdays\, (Thursday Friday\, Monday\, Tuesday\, and Wednesday).

SUMMARY:Winter Intensive: The Nurture and Spiritual Guidance of Children
DESCRIPTION:Five Day Intensive\nElizabeth Waldron-Anstice \nContemporary cultures may idealise\, sentimentalise\, dramatise\, catastrophise and marginalise children\, but in what ways do we spiritualise children? How do we speak of children’s spirituality\, and how may we form and inhabit communities that enable the spiritual lives of children to thrive and contribute? This unit calls and resources participants to explore historical\, trans-cultural and contemporary issues in the spiritual life and the spiritual development of children\, cognizant of this complex ethical and economic global landscape. It examines links between Scripture\, theological thought\, spiritual and psychological development\, and ministry with children. The unit seeks to develop greater awareness and sensitivity to the spiritual lives of children in theological reflection\, informing ministry practices of protection and respect in pastoral care and faith formation\, and attend to the often neglected childhood spiritual experiences of the adult practitioner theologian which underlie pastoral and ministry responses to children. \n\n\n\n\n\nDELIVERY NOTES This unit provides immersive multi-sensory learning\, meeting face to face at the CTM (or online synchronously by prior arrangement)\, Parkville from 9am-5pm each day of the intensive. This unit is also available in the External-Online Synchronous mode and will meet at the same time as the intensive. Learning is interactive\, collaborative\, and combines academic investigation with grounded age-sensitive ministry practices. There is no required pre-reading. \n\n\n\n\n\nPREREQUISITES Students taking this unit for credit are required to have completed one unit in field D (Practical Theology). \n  \n\n\n\nTo see more details about our Winter Intensives for 2024\, click here. \n\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes and Assessment Details\nUndergraduate (DP2030Z) \n\nDescribe diverse theologies and age-sensitive theories of faith formation\, within and beyond Australian western Christian traditions.\nReflect theologically on childhood spiritual experiences\, identifying aspects of ministry which aim to value\, respect and protect children through pastoral care and faith formation support.\nInterpret the significance of Nye’s framework of spirituality (love for the self\, the other\, the environment and the Divine) in cultural and age-sensitive pastoral practice.\nRecognise and reflect on spiritual experiences from childhood to the present.\n\nAssessment\n\n\nTask 1 – Seminar or Tutorial \nTutorial report and presentation (1100 words) \nTask 2 – Integrative exegesis \nIntegrative exegesis (1100 words) \nTask 3 – Essay \nEssay (2300 words) \n  \nUndergraduate (DP3030Z) \n\nArticulate the key critical issues in theological debates about the nature\, purpose 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\nIntergrate 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 – Seminar or Tutorial  \nTutorial report and presentation (1250 words) \nTask 2 – Essay \nIntegrative exegesis (1250 words) \nTask 3 – Essay \nEssay (2500 words) \n  \nPostgraduate (DP9030Z) \n\nDemonstrate an awareness of and informed critique of a range of views relating to the nurture and development of spirituality in children\nReflect theologically on aspects of ministry in protection\, respect and valuing of children through pastoral care and religious education\nRecognize\, articulate and integrate within a practice framework the pastoral significance of love for the self\, the other\, the environment and the Divine as part of spirituality in the life of the child\nReflect on and demonstrate an ability to integrate spiritual experiences in life from childhood to the present\nCritique and integrate\, in reflection and practice\, sound educational theory and theories of faith development\n\nAssessment\nTask 1 – Essay \n3000 word essay (3000 words) \nTask 2 – Tutorial Paper/Seminar Paper \n1500 word tutorial report and oral presentation (1500 words) \nTask 3 – Essay \n1500 word response to scripture (1500 words) \n

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.

SUMMARY:Northey Lecture: Amy Plantinga Pauw
DESCRIPTION:The past Northey Lecture was delivered by Professor Amy Plantinga Pauw speaking on Church in Ordinary Time: A Wisdom Ecclesiology. \nAbstract: The doctrine of creation has been missing in most theological accounts of the church. That has made it harder for Christians to make common cause with others in a religiously pluralistic world and to address the ecological threat we all face as creatures. This lecture will outline a wisdom ecclesiology that takes the doctrine of creation seriously in thinking about the church. \nAmy Plantinga Pauw is the Henry P. Mobley Professor of Doctrinal Theology at Louisville Presbyterian Seminary in Louisville\, Kentucky\, USA \n
