Drawing on the work of Stanley Hauerwas and others, such as Marcus Borg, who have used the metaphor in their writing, I discuss ways in which the methods of language teaching could illuminate the ways in which we teach Christianity. I conclude that this is a potentially useful metaphor and that reflecting on it can guide us in productive directions – although noting that no one metaphor should be our only guide.","PeriodicalId":224329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adult Theological Education","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133653362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In North America, the ‘suitability of distance learning has raged long and loud’ (Hockridge, 2011, 4). Hence in this article we seek to explore the formation of online wisdom communities within a hybrid theological program for doctoral students studying preaching. Using Rovai's (2002) classroom community scale, we measured participants’ sense of community in the preaching program. As the findings indicate, the participants did experience community and felt a sense of cohesion, trust, and interdependence as well as deriving educational benefits from their interactions with others. We therefore confirm the validity of such a program and call for further research to be carried out in this field.","PeriodicalId":224329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adult Theological Education","volume":"277 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114057530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It identifies the potential value that could be added to the role of community in facilitating transformative learning by social networking and online communities. It then suggests cultural dissonance between how community is understood in online environments and in the mainstream culture of the Church of England as one reason underpinning the absence of widespread effective denominational appreciation of social networking as a tool for mission and ministry, despite extensive personal use by individuals. Finally, using Foucault's notion of the dangerous as a lens, it suggests that the next generation of clergy could usefully be trained to use social media in a missiologically centred, purposeful, way, so that they can influence other Christians to go and do likewise.","PeriodicalId":224329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adult Theological Education","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130899643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I offer a personal reflection on my journey, writing as a social anthropologist who is particularly interested in what is not being said or done. I reflect on changing affiliations to experiential learning over my lifetime; a fresh emerging understanding of ecumenism; the danger of prioritising preparation for formal positions in the Church over support for those without church roles; the challenge of contemporary art and artists to learning in the Church; and the way some educational policies may be moulded by the values and practices of the market place with its obsession with consumer choice.

But what is its future? Is numerical growth an indication that the Kenyan Church has a secure future? To answer these questions this paper utilizes the case of the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK), which is the largest Protestant denomination in Kenya, with a membership of about 4.2 million people and a growth rate of 6.7% per annum. While there may be other indicators as to the future growth and sustainability of the Church in Kenya, the paper assumes that Theological Education Institutions (TEIs) where church leaders are formed and trained largely determine the strength of the future church. Quantitative and qualitative field research is described covering the five key ACK TEIs identifying several weaknesses in them. While the purpose of theological education in the ACK is to equip the clergy with the necessary skills to lead the church, the paper suggests a more integrative model incorporating knowledge, skills, character, empathy, and action. Further proposals are offered to remedy the deficiencies of ACK TEIs such as utilizing new modes of study e.g. distance learning, e-learning etc., revitalizing the Theological Education by Extension program which has been allowed to die, and a revised curriculum is suggested.","PeriodicalId":224329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adult Theological Education","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115795645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A review of critical literature on reflection, however, suggests that there are too many varying and conflicting definitions and applications to be a truly reliable tool. The validity of such an argument is critiqued in the analysis of the nature of the relationship between the tutor, learner and outcomes in reflection specific to the field of humanities. This suggests that many factors, not least the responsibility of the learner for learning, contribute to and influence actual outcomes. Reflection as a tool is discussed further in relation to Theological Reflection, which due to its concise parameters offers a more improved measured approach to reflection and the professional development of a specific practice. Theological Reflection under constant improvement in tutor, learner and outcomes is demonstrated to be the best method there is at present to improve professional practice in curates using examples from the authors’ own experience.","PeriodicalId":224329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adult Theological Education","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126850099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that the university can help extend the range of critical conversations in which the church engages, and help form some of the intellectual virtues required in those who pursue this reflection. In return, the church can help the university to recognize its nature as a school of intellectual virtue, its need for insistent and pervasive discussion of the good that it does in the world, and its need to resist the pressures that threaten to thin its life down to technocratic rationality. I also argue that, for both the church’s purposes and the university’s purposes, the learning pursued in this partnership needs to be understood as deeply engaged with the life and practice of the church-as taking off from attentive description of that practice, and as returning to the refinement, extension and transformation of that practice, however long might be the journeys of abstraction and reflection that take place in between.","PeriodicalId":224329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adult Theological Education","volume":"83 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123232736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This challenge is particularly acute in western societies and the Church is currently reflecting on how best to respond. Here it is suggested that insights from communities of practice theory and contemporary educational leadership theory have potential to foster effective adult religious education in parishes, Catholic educational institutions, and many other types of Catholic organizations. As an organizational form, communities of practice can exist within different models of faith communities and be established and integrated into existing structures. It is also noted that the Church has multiple historical precursors of communities of practice to develop adult religious educators and leaders. This article presents a preliminary conceptual exploration of how the Church might benefit from current communities of practice theory. It further considers how this might be appropriated and applied to promote the development of promising lay adult religious educators to enhance adult religious education teaching and learning as part of wider institutional renewal.","PeriodicalId":224329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adult Theological Education","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132850346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores the possibility of developing a theological epistemology which does not blindly reflect the presuppositions of either modernism or postmodernism. It is argued that the theological notions of faith, hope and love provide a unique approach to truth that frees theological epistemology from fideism, fundamentalism and triumphalism. Faith renders theological theories vulnerable to being challenged by experiences of lived-through reality and alternative interpretations of that reality, while hope sets truth within the context of critical transformational actions based on relational commitments marked by love. A meta-theoretical model for theological education is constructed to indicate how this epistemological approach may be realized in educational praxis.","PeriodicalId":224329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adult Theological Education","volume":"215 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124231300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
