Discipleship
of Heart and Mind
The goal of the Discipleship Series is to nurture a discipleship
of heart and mind that integrates knowing and doing. The
presentations will deal with discipleship and spirituality, and with theology
and apologetics, relating them to an analysis of contemporary culture.
Details of the Fellows program, which
involves minimum additional reading requirements and a monthly meeting for
discussion, are below.
The study text for this year will be Dynamics of Spiritual
Life by Richard Lovelace. There will also be one accompanying article
for each month.
