PASTORAL MINISTRY & MISSIONS
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS View the section for the Department of Pastoral Ministry & Missions. PMM P708 CURRENT ISSUES IN LUTHERAN WORSHIP
This course will examine the key issues facing the liturgical life of the Church today. It will
analyze the impact of the modern liturgical movement on current liturgical practice as well
as the influence of contemporary neo-evangelical worship. The course will study the major
issues involved in the revision of Lutheran Worship (scheduled for 2007) that will have a
direct bearing upon its proper incorporation into the worship life of the Synod and upon the
unity of the Church.
PMM P715 EUCHARISTIC TEXTS
Critically examines the eucharistic liturgies through the first six centuries. Discussions are
based on primary materials.
PMM P718 CHRISTIAN INITIATION AND CATECHESIS:
A seminar course examining the process of initiation from “the classical age of the catechumenate
and the liturgy of baptism.” Catechesis instructed the catechumens and the newly
baptized concerning their initiation into the Christian faith through baptism, confirmation
and eucharist functioning as an act of pastoral care. The course will concentrate on the catechetical
writings of the first four centuries, but these texts will then be compared to the
Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) that are in use in Christendom today.
A STUDY OF EARLY BAPTISMAL TEXTS PMM P761 PASTORAL THEOLOGY IN LUKE/ACTS (SEMINAR)
A course examining pastoral theology in Luke/Acts that will closely examine the teaching
and preaching of Jesus in the Gospel, the sermons of the Apostles in Acts, and the sacramental
theology in Luke/Acts. Since Luke is the only Gospel with a companion work
describing the life of the church, themes unique to Luke will be emphasized. A number of
pastoral models from Luke/Acts will be analyzed in view of pastoral care today.
PMM P780 CLASSIC CARE OF SOULS
Our Lord cares for us through pastors who administer the ordinary means of pastoral care
that include liturgy, preaching, catechesis and the extra-ordinary means of pastoral care (or
the “private care of souls”).
PMM P790 PASTORAL SEMINAR

determined by the professor.
