GLOBAL CHURCH (STUDY ABROAD)

This course entails a cross-cultural immersion experience to observe and ana-lyze the church in a specific global context. Aspects of culture, mission/church relations, and ministry issues will be studied. The course will include both a study of the specific country or subculture in preparation for the immersion experience and a debriefing afterward. All students must be approved for par-ticipation in this course based upon criteria related to the context as deter-mined by the professor of record in consultation with the Academic Dean.
