Lectures in Heiligenkreuz

NEWS FROM TÜBINGEN

by Dennis Lindsay

Since the middle of January I have been teaching a course on "Mission in the New Testament" for M.A. and M.Div. students at TCM's Institute. Most of the coursework has been online, but for in the middle of March the class met at Haus Edelweiss in Heiligenkreuz, Austria for a week-long in-person intensive session. Students enrolled in the class were from a number of central and Eastern European countries, including Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Austria. The group included individuals engaged in pastoral ministry, mission, youth ministry, music ministry, and seminary instructors. This rich mix of ministries and nationalities provided fertile soil for cutting-edge conversations about the nature and needs of Christian mission in Europe today! The class officially ends in April when students will submit final projects tailored to address mission work in their own current contexts.
