Are you engaged in mission with, or feel that God may be calling you to work in, marginalised communities? Are you wondering what it means to discover God in low-income neighbourhoods, prisons, social justice initiatives, among the homeless community or a myriad of other seemingly forgotten groups?
We know that God is found ‘in the margins’. While the energy of marginalised communities is often vibrant, ministering in these areas can be very challenging. Even those who already have training and skills in ministry may not be equipped to engage well in these contexts. This track aims to provide the skills needed for those ministering in marginalised communities – to be a church that is present in places that have often been left behind.
In developing and delivering the Mission on the Margins Track St Hild has collaborated with Urban Life – a team of theological accompaniers who journey alongside individuals, groups, collectives, teams and churches to stimulate reflection on mission practice in marginal contexts. We hope this collaboration will resource practitioners to help them make sense of what’s happening in the communities in which they are serving today – as well as equip them for long-term engagement.
St Hild’s unique practitioner tracks – in Mission on the Margins and Church Planting – have been developed to give students with a passion for either subject, the tools and skills to fully engage in these vital expressions of 21st century Church.
