Pastoral Ministry and Priesthood (DP8500A)

13 weekly sessions offered in asynchronous and synchronous modes combining live and pre-recorded lectures, group discussions, readings and online forums

This unit is divided into two main sections. Firstly, it will develop a critical theology of priesthood, ministry and pastoral care in the Orthodox tradition and contemporary life. Secondly, the unit will study practical applications of the Church’s vision and ministry to priestly and pastoral life and service in the Church. The unit will examine topics including the nature of the priesthood of believers, the ordained priesthood, church tradition and structure and the role of women in the church.

SAC offers courses in diverse fields of theology. We offer postgraduate and undergraduate study options on-campus and online.
