The programme aims to build missional leadership capacity through reading, vigorous theological dialogue, participation in spiritual disciplines, experimentation with missional leadership challenges and personal reflection (journaling) and direction. The focus and content of the different modules are based on research done in congregations of the Partnership for Missional Churches in Southern Africa (SAPMC). Students can choose one of two focus areas: The Missional Leadership and Ministry option is intended to serve as a learning community for pastors and congregational leaders who want to build their missional and ministerial leadership capacity. The Missional Spiritual Formation option will deepen the participants’ spirituality and help them gain the necessary insights and skills for missional spiritual formation and direction in ministry and mission. Topics addressed in the MTh Programme • Congregational ministry and spiritual formation • Rethinking our faith: The Gospel, Missio Dei and the Triune God • Pastoral care, spirituality and discipleship • Leading God’s people (in partnership with the Stellenbosch University Business School) • Historical and contemporary practices in spiritual direction and community formation • Missiology and missional spirituality for the building of Kingdom communities The programme will be presented by lecturers of the Faculty of Theology and accredited research fellows who are recognised as practitioners in their respective fields. They include Profs Dirkie Smit, Marius Ungerer, Ian Nell, Drs Frederick Marais, Xolile Simon, Nico Simpson, Jim Harris, Lawrence Kaufmann, Coenie Burger, Dion Forster, Breda Ludick and Revs Trevor Hudson, Danie Mouton, and Fred Hendricks.
