Reformed Theology
South Central
Region - Association of Presbyterian
Church Educators (SCRAPCE)
event is sponsored by:
Synod of the Sun PC(USA) and Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Office of Continuing Education
This course is designed to enable Christian educators better to reflect theologically. Participants in this class will consider the relevance of theological doctrine to our lives of faith, making new discoveries about why and how theology matters. While the course serves primarily as an opportunity for Christian educators to develop their own skills as theologians, substantial attention will also be given (particularly in the final project) to considering how theological insights can best be communicated to others in the daily work of Christian educators.
