Rationale: Successful conversations, whether focused upon evangelisation, or as part of one’s exercise of leadership, are integral dimensions of ministerial praxis. This piece of assessment invites students to reflect upon their actual exercise of such a conversation.

Task description: Write a verbatim report and a theological/pastoral analysis of an evangelising conversation OR a crucial conversation you have had.

Format:

Part A
Part A simply recounts the conversation as closely as you can recall it.

It should look something like this:
Chris: “…..[what you actually said]”
Person having crucial conversation/evangelising conversation with: “….. [what the other person actually said]”
Chris: “….” etc.

Part B
In the second part of the paper, provide an analysis of the conversation in the light of the elements of evangelising conversations OR crucial conversations as discussed in the lectures. Explain what principles you drew upon in the conversation, and/or also what you might have done differently in the light of the principles.

Sources: For an evangelising conversation, see the slides from Intensive 3. For a crucial conversation, see Lecture 1 and its associated materials in Ministerial Leadership: Theory and Practice (MLTP)

Bibliography/Referencing:For an evangelising conversation, it is enough to reference the slides from the intensive. For a crucial conversation, simply reference the lecture notes/article from Lecture 1 in MLTP
