Course description:
This study track explores the role of episcopal ministry and leadership from within historical, Biblical, ecumenical, and contextual frameworks. Students will be introduced to patristic theology, sacramental theology, and liturgical theology to understand the sacramentality of episcopal consecration, rite for the ordination of a bishop, presbyters, and deacons as classically understood though the sacrament of Holy Orders. Particular attention will be given to understanding the office of bishop beyond its administrative function and in its sacred and sacramental role as “in persona Christi”- “in the person of Christ.”
