Personal Wellness: Care of Self for Care of Others

Personal wellness builds and replenishes the inner resources that sustain a pastor's efforts to care for others, and is essential to effective ordained ministry. It is designed to foster holistic personal wellness and enhance students' ability to cope with the potentially stressful interpersonal aspects of ordained life. The course is process oriented and supported by readings and written self-reflection assignments. Completion of assignments, regular attendance and participation in class discussions are all mandatory components of this pass/fail course. This course is open only to students in the M.Div. program.
