About this event
Part-time employment in ministry is becoming common across mainline denominations. This course introduces students to concepts and practical tools to thrive in this new context.
About the Instructor: The Rev. Dr. Ross Bartlett, Adjunct Professor at AST, received his B.A. (Hons.) at Queen's University); his M.Div. at University of St. Andrew's/Queen's Theological College; his M.A. at Queen's University; his Th.D. at Toronto School of Theology/Victoria University; and his D.Min. at Princeton Theological Seminary. Ross believes that the process of learning continues everywhere for those who are open to it. Formal education opportunities represent the opportunity to gain the insights and skills we apply elsewhere. His greatest joy is to see the light of newfound awareness shine in another’s eyes. That is holy ground.
