LPP 305 People Skills for Pastoral Ministers
This course focuses upon the people skills required of ministers if they are to communicate effectively in any pastoral situation but especially in stressful situations. Skills are explained, demonstrated, and practiced in each of four major course content areas: 1) reflective listening, 2) assertion, 3) problem solving, and 4) conflict management. Skill practice roleplays are held in a “fishbowl” setting under the live supervision of the instructor and the student’s peers. Roleplay tapes give the student the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of the skills in question. ( 3 Credits)
