Cross Cultural
All M.Div. and M.A.R. students are required to fulfill a cross-cultural requirement, usually in January of the first or second year of seminary. Lasting from ten days to three weeks, this program is a significant immersion in a ministry setting different from the student’s customary environment. The cross-cultural experience aims to equip students to understand more fully and better meet the challenges of Christian ministry today. The Contextual Education office coordinates this program, issuing a list of activities and sites early in the Fall semester. Students may propose their own sites, but such are subject to review and approval by the Contextual Education Committee. Students follow up their experience with a theological reflection paper and a conference with their faculty advisors.
