This subject contains a 3 day Compulsory Residential School.
The compulsory residential school will assist the student in the development and understanding of the Diaconate, its history, its development, and its application to various ecclesial situations and circumstances in the contemporary church. The students will critically reflect, both individually and in groups, on the role of the Diaconate in the 21st century, and hear from practicing deacons of the challenges for diaconal ministry in Australia.
The compulsory residential will include experiential exercises, field trips, group discussions, videos and face-to-face lectures.
