Description / Abstract

The Church of the Nazarene in New Zealand needs a re-envisioned theological education that fosters pastoral imagination and respects a multicultural approach to teaching. This project grew out of the very significant need for pastoral education in New Zealand. The following study gives voice to this need and offers the first steps toward providing education that shapes a pastoral imagination among pastors on the New Zealand District Church of the Nazarene. The approach outlined below was developed by way of intentional listening to the needs of local pastors along with the needs of the leadership and lay people of the New Zealand District Church of the Nazarene, and discerning a way to meet those needs moving forward.
