COURSE FULL for 2025
This weekly discussion-based course will introduce a circular model for understanding vocations, with weekly guided reflections on aspects of the circle in light of biblical narratives of calling. While we will discuss practices of discernment, the course is not intended for discerning new vocations as much as becoming aware of how we might deepen in our understanding and practice of our current vocations. Later sessions will engage questions of helping others discern their callings, and discerning the calling of a congregation. The course is appropriate for all orders—lay, deacon, and priest—and is especially relevant for people serving bi-vocational and small churches.
Instructor: The Rev. Jane Lancaster Patterson, Ph.D.
Day/Time: Tuesdays, 4:00p-5:15p Central
