This vocation-driven programme is designed to enable those who are passionate about Christian mission to engage with the entire discipline in a more comprehensive and meaningful manner, whether their interest is as an intending missionary, or as a church leader keen to facilitate and support missions from their home base. If you are already a missionary, this course will help you to analyse your activities in the light of the modern science of mission and to interact more meaningfully and efficiently with the very latest research, in the hope of making your ministry even more effective.

The course consists of a choice of four modules from the list below (not all options will be available each year – you will be given the choice of modules available when you are accepted for the course). There is also a 20,000 word dissertation.

     Cultural Anthropology & Contextualization

     Lukan Literature from a Missiological Perspective
     Global Christian Understandings of Spiritual Power and Mission
     Contemporary Issues in Mission 1: Missionary Practice
     Contemporary Issues in Mission 2: Strategy & Methodology

Mode of Delivery: 3 years part time (September) only
