Programme offered by Faith and Praxis

The aim of the Programme is to energise and enable members of international leadership teams to understand and apply living systems and contextual approaches in their respective congregations.

The purpose is to co-operate more fully and courageously in God’s dream in this time of disruption as committed members of a synodal Church.

METHODOLOGY

Methodology is experiential, process-based: It involves active participation.
All along there is an interactive integration between theory and practice. The ways of working are a varied set including practical exercises, interaction in different types of groups, moments of reflection and discernment and integration spaces. 

The on-going experience of the participants in their congregations is the basis for learning and reflection. Knowing that members of international Councils are usually extremely busy, the programme aims to support them in better developing the service they are called upon to offer.
