Prophetic Ministry in Mainline Congregations

3 credits · Divinity School

How do pastors in a mainline church lead toward greater justice? What does "the prophetic" look like when a congregation is fearful, apathetic, weary, dispirited, or resistant to change? This seminar will explore through readings and discussion how ministers with progressive commitments can lead for justice and change in and from a mainline congregational base. [3]
