Online Course Description: Inspired by Henri Nouwen’s classic work The Wounded Healer, the purpose of this six-week online course is to facilitate space for self-reflection on the nature and demands of pastoral ministry. We will spend time and space reflecting on the minister’s holistic well-being, including the minister’s spiritual, emotional, and physical health. In addition to various readings, the lives and experiences of this course will be our text, that is, the main source of inspiration for this course.
Online Course Format: Weekly class meetings will be held using Zoom Technology. The Zoom meeting link will be provided. Participants will need access to an electronic device with a stable internet connection, a webcam, microphone, and speakers.
Dates: Thursdays, February 11 – March 18, 2021, 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (USA)
