method of theological education through which a student exercises and learns pastoral skills. It provides a learning situation to develop awareness of the theological and psycho-social

concerns of persons in crisis. We seek to celebrate, refine and to enhance your already natural, innate, and honed gifts for spiritual care. This will be done through structured weekly

educational elements, peer group engagement, and supervision and instructions from experts in the field. UPCOMING CLASSES: APPLICATIONS DUE: Applications will be reviewed and interviews
