RS 2514 Where Have All the Coffins Gone? – Donna Schaper
Class meets July 7 - 11, 8:30 am - 12:30 pm

A 21ST CENTURY OVERVIEW AND TRAINING FOR PUBLIC MINISTRY. While this course will not clone new Coffins or Moodys or Parks or Kings, it will summarize the skills of public ministry. It will show how the issues of the 21st century (immigration, interfaith necessities, terrorism and the rise of the religious right) teach new duties. Community organization and public ministry need to "over-communicate" and "spin" strategies, revise street rituals, demonstrations and liturgies, reframe preaching, offer transformed notions of power and do all of these with a deeper spirituality, one much less "secular" in its approach to both city and globe. "Global" strategies for public ministry will be taught based in and beyond the strategies of the 1960's.
