Engaging Sacred Texts for Teaching Religious Leadership
The ARL’s spring 2016 annual theme was Engaging Sacred Texts for Teaching Religious Leadership
It focused on the following questions:
- How do we, as teachers and leaders, engage sacred texts in the teaching and practice of leading?
- How do theological perspectives dictate the ways in which we approach text in the teaching of religious leadership?
- What are the methodological assumptions that we employ in our engagement with sacred texts for leadership formation?
- What are the pedagogical practices or implications for engaging sacred texts for leadership formation?
Presenters included:
David Forney (Charlottesville, VA), Erica Martin (Seattle, WA), Mark Lau Branson (Pasadena, CA), Scott Hagley (Pittsburgh, PA)
Here are notes from the presentations as interpreted by Steve Thomason.
