The MMin Ministry is a professional Postgraduate Degree which provides an opportunity to engage in sustained reflection and research upon the practice of ministry. Designed for people who cannot take extended periods of study away from their ministry, this course seeks to address the rapidly changing contexts of Christian ministry taking a holistic approach to new challenges, theories and practices associated with modern day ministry.This programme has been developed in such a way that students are encouraged to explore various theological traditions and disciplines, to further develop a range of practical skills and to develop habits of theological reflection which integrate theory with practice. This process of reflection and dialogue contributes to students’ personal and professional development as reflective practitioners, helping them to construct fresh perspectives on the tasks and opportunities facing those involved in the practice of ministry.Students will develop and expand their range of theological knowledge, understanding and skills in ways that will inform their practice while supported by a variety of teaching approaches, delivered in a supportive learning environment. They will have the opportunity to explore and reflect critically upon theological studies with particular regard to the richness of Christian practice and expression drawing on a variety of theological and other academic disciplines and discourses in order to reflect critically and constructively on their practice.
