MIN5231 Spiritual Formation Retreat
The spiritual retreat is built around the following four themes: 1) lectio divina as transforming prayer; 2) life as prayer; 3) the integration of prayer, leadership, and Christian community; and 4) the integration of theology and biography in the student's life. Special emphasis will be given, across all four themes, to prayer as "our response to a divine invitation to encounter" (David Benner) and to learning by experiencing. These themes will be explored in a retreat setting and format with opportunities for Christian community woven throughout. Graded Pass/Fail.
