In the church and in society, the theme of reconciliation is often invoked: in conversations about settler and indigenous relations in Canada, about race relations in the United States, about politics, about the mission of Christians, and so much more. This non-credit online course explores the meaning and practice of reconciliation in the church and world in the 21st century. Students will learn about different understandings of reconciliation, unique Christian perspectives on the topic, and how the idea can be used to shape Christian ministry and mission both locally and globally.

The Field Placement (completed in the third year of the M.Div., and also as a constituent part of the Diploma in Ministry) takes place in the academic year from September through April. The Field Placement provides a context for the practice of ministry and theological reflection on this practice. There is a close relationship between the Field Placement and the instructional content of M.Div. 3/Dip. Min. so that there is action-reflection model between course work and placement context.
