STMM 5580 - Ministerial and Theological Integration II

3 credit hours
Formerly - STMM 558

Students in STMM 558 explore the impact of cultural history and myths of personal identity and how these affect professional ministry. Students explore their unique cultural identity and examine how family of origin and community influence values, beliefs, prejudices and view of justice. Students investigate how personal or cultural myths enhance or impede their ability to minister. Students have the opportunity to examine the process of emotional influences and identify how they are affected by the stories of others. In the context of this analysis students have several occasions to deepen awareness of healthy boundaries.
