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.
Teacher: Roland De Vries
An introduction to some key themes in Anglican history and theology, with a particular focus on the 19th century to the present.
The site will provide you with all you need to complete the course, including specific projects and tasks to help you learn more about learning, justice education, and educational and faith formation priorities in the United Church.
This course introduces students to key themes and questions within the area of theological ethics. It does so through (i) an introduction to the main approaches to ethics that have been followed within the Christian tradition, (ii) attention to a specifically theological approach to Christian ethics, and (iii) discussion of contemporary ethical issues that confront the church. As an independent study course, students will also have an opportunity to determine specific contemporary issues in relation to which they will pursue reading and research, in consultation with the instructor.
