12018 ANNUAL REPORT

Flourishing in Ministry: Humanity Fully Alive

2

신실한 센트럴의 친구 여러분,

센트럴에 관심을 가져주셔서 고맙습니다. 만일 이 편지를 읽고 있다면 아마도 여러분은 신학생, 교회 생활, 그리고 하나님의 글로벌 선교에 관심을 가지고 있을 것입니다. 하나님의 형통한 삶으로의 부르심을 살아내는 여러 이야기가 담긴 이번 호 Voice에서 여러분이 관심을 갖는 주제들을 만날 수 있을것입니다.

각 신자의 삶은 하나님께 드리는 제물이며 그 결과 “범사에 하나님이 영광을 받으십니다” (벧전 4:11). 성경은 하나님이 당신의 일에 동참할 방법들을 찾는 신실한 사람들을 기뻐하신다고 우리에게 가르치십니다. 3세기 신학자 성 이레네우스는 이 가르침을 통찰력있는 말로 표현했습니다. “하나님의 영광은 온전히 살아있는 인간이다.” 온전히 살아 있는 사람들은 하나님의 경제안에서 자신들의 위치를 알고 창의적이고 생산적이고 변혁적인 방식으로 자신들의 사역을 감당합니다.

센트럴은 각 학생의 번창함뿐만 아니라 각 졸업생이 섬기게 될 사역지에 대해 깊은 관심을 갖고 있습니다. 우리의 교육과정을 통해 리더들은 교회와 지역사회에서 적절한 영향을 미칠 수 있도록 준비됩니다. 사려깊은 교수진과 직원들은 학생들의 성공을 보장하기 위해 일하고 있으며 그 결과 각 학생은 하나님의 부르심에 온전히 반응할 수 있습니다.

번창함은 포괄적이며, 이런 이야기들은 사역의 재정적이고 영적이고 학문적이고 관계적인 측면들을 가리킵니다. 센트럴은 후원, 기도, 학생들 추천, 영향력을 미칠 수 있는 곳에서 센트럴의 관대한 대사가 되는 것과 같은 여러분의 참여로 인해 번창할 수 있습니다. 우리는 여러분이 하는 모든 일에서 온전히 살아있는 것의 기쁨을 알 수 있기를 기도하며,

하나님께서 센트럴을 통해 영광받으시기를 기도합니다.

Dear Faithful Friend of Central,Thank you for your interest in Central! If you are reading this, you probably care about seminary students, the life of the church, and God’s global mission. You will find something about each of these in this issue of the Voice, as we share stories of the many ways we are living into God’s call to flourish.

The life of each believer is an offering to God, so that “in all things God is glorified” (1 Peter 4:11). Scripture teaches us that God rejoices over faithful humans who are finding ways to participate with God. The third century theologian, St. Irenaeus, echoes this teaching with his perceptive statement, “the glory of God is the human person fully alive.” Fully alive persons know their place in God’s economy, and they offer their ministry in creative, generative, and transformative ways.

Central cares deeply about the flourishing of each student, as well as the place where as a graduate he or she will serve. Our curriculum prepares leaders for relevant impact in their churches and communities. Thoughtful faculty and staff work to ensure student success so that each might fully respond to God’s beckoning.

Flourishing is comprehensive, and these narratives point to the financial, spiritual, academic, and relational aspects of ministry. Central flourishes because of your participation in our mission—giving, praying, recommending students, and being a generous ambassador in your circle of influence. We pray that you will know the joy of being fully alive in all that you do.

May God be glorified through Central,

Molly T. Marshall President and Professor of Theology and Spiritual Formation

From the President

“The glory of God is the human person fully alive.” —Irenaeus of Lyons

To be fully alive is to flourish. At dictionary.com flourish is defined as follows:

Flourish [flur-ish, fluhr-ish]verb (used without object) 1. to be in a vigorous state; thrive 2. to be in its or in one's prime; be at the height of fame, excellence, influence, etc.

Surely, the Christian leader and the Christian community desire such flourishing and aliveness for the sake of glorifying God. But, what constitutes “a vigorous state and thriving” for today’s ministers? How do Christian leaders attain their prime and maintain high levels of excellence and influence? What essential ingredients and practices nourish and cultivate wellbeing?

Matt Bloom, Ph.D., a researcher at the University of Notre Dame, leads the Flourishing in Ministry project (https://wellbeing.nd.edu/flourishing-in-ministry/). Dr. Bloom has been asking such questions for more than a decade, and his research produced data that point to numerous factors that influence clergy wellbeing, including but not limited to engagement, authenticity, and relationships. The degree to which faith leaders can engage their best gifts, bring their authentic selves, and connect with others in meaningful relations are all powerful determinants of flourishing, especially at work.

At Central we aim to prepare women and men for living wholly and fully alive as they seek God, shape church, and serve humanity. Our courses and professors form and equip learners who can thus engage the range of their giftedness and bring their unique and authentic selves to the classroom and the ministry context. Our student success and services staff nurture connection from the application process to enrollment and through matriculation. In addition, we’ve been engaging students in coaching toward financial thriving for the last three years. Cultivating spiritual formation and wellbeing are woven into the fabric of our programming.

And yet, we recognize that theological education is not completed in the classroom but continues to be influenced by one’s ministry context. As a $1M grant recipient of Lilly Endowment’s Thriving in Ministry initiative, Central launched a new program in 2019 – Formed for Flourishing – that will connect experienced ministers to journey for two years with new/transitioning ministers as they live into new calls and new contexts. Recognizing the critical nature of ministry’s early years for not only growing into one’s pastoral identity but also cultivating the capacity for facing and addressing significant challenges, the program will make use of both group and one-to-one mentoring as opportunity for engagement, authenticity, and deepening relationships. Each year of the grant cycle, we will launch multiple mentoring cohorts (see Formed for Flourishing timeline graphic on the next page).

We are currently seeking partners in the work of forming “fully alive” Christian leaders. If you are in the first 3 years of a call and would like a mentor or if you are a minister with 5+ years of experience and would like to be a mentor or if you are a network/denominational leader who works with congregational leaders, contact our program director, Angela Barker Jackson, at [email protected].

Formed for Flourishing (Continued from previous page)

“하나님의 영광은 온전히 살아있는 인간이다.” – 리옹의 이레네우스

온전히 살아있다는 것은 번창한다는 것입니다. dictionary.com은 “flourish" (번창하다)”라는 단어를 다음과 같이 정의하고 있습니다.

Flourish: 동사 (목적어 없이 사용됨) 1. 활기찬 상태에 있는 것; 번성하다 2. 최고의 상태에 있는 것; 명예, 탁월함, 영향력 등이 최고조인

기독교 지도자들과 공동체들이 하나님께 영광을 돌리기 위해 이와 같은 번창함과 생명력을 갈구하는 것은 분명합니다. 하지만 오늘날의 사역자들에게 “활기찬 상태와 번성하는 것”은 어떤 모습일까요? 기독교 지도자들은 어떻게 그들의 최고의 상태를 이루고 높은 수준의 탁월함과 영향력을 유지할 수 있을까요? 어떤 근본적인 요소와 관행을 통해 복지를 증진시킬 수 있을까요?

노트르담 대학의 연구원인 매트 블룸 박사는 사역의 번창함에 대한 연구 프로젝트를 진행하고 있습니다. (https://wellbeing.nd.edu/flourishing-in-ministry/). 블룸 박사는 십 년 이상 이러한 질문을 해왔으며, 그의 연구는 성직자들의 안녕에 영향을 미치는 재능 활용도, 진정성, 인간관계 등과 같은 요소들을 가리키는 자료를 생산해냈습니다

믿음의 지도자들이 얼마만큼 그들의 최고의 재능을 활용하고, 그들 자신의 진정한 모습을 나타내며, 다른 사람들과 의미 있는 관계를 맺고 있는지는 모두 번창함을 결정하는 강력한 요소들이며, 특히 사역의 현장에서 더더욱 그렇습니다.

센트럴 신학교는 여성들과 남성들이 하나님을 찾고 교회를 만들어가며 인류를 섬길 때에 그들을 온전히 그리고 풍성히 살도록 준비시키는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다. 센트럴의 수업 과정과 교수들은 학생들이 자신들의 재능을 활용하고, 특별하고 진정한 자아를 수업과 사역의 현장에 가져올 수 있도록 학생들을 훈련시키고 준비시킵니다. 저희 학생 성공팀과 서비스 직원들은 입학 지원 과정부터 등록 그리고 모든 과정을 마칠 때까지 학생들을 지원합니다. 또한 저희는 지난 삼 년 동안 코칭을 통해 학생들의 재정이 변영할 수 있도록 지도해 왔습니다. 영적 훈련과 복지를 위한 노력이 학위 프로그램 전반에 잘 반영되어 있습니다.

그렇지만 저희는 신학 교육이 학교 안에서 완성되는 것이 아니라 사역 현장의 영향을 계속 받는다는 것을 알고 있습니다. 릴리 기부의 사역의 번창함 이니셔티브 백만 달러 보조금의 수혜자로서 센트럴은 2019년에 “Formed for Flourishing 번성함을 위한 훈련”이라는 새 프로그램을 시작하게 되었습니다. 이 프로그램을 통해 새로운 부르심을 받고 사역지로 향하는 사역 초보생들과 과도기에 있는 사역자들은 경험이 풍부한 사역자들과 연결되고 2년 동안 여정을 함께 합니다. 우리는 목회자로서의 정체성의 성장 뿐만 아니라 중요한 도전을 마주하고 해결하는 힘을 기르는 초기 사역의 중요성에 대해 잘 알고 있습니다. 그렇기에 이 프로그램은 그룹과 일대일 양육을 통해 연합하고 진정성 있게 나아가고 관계를 더욱 깊게 하는 기회를 제공할 것입니다. 매 해 보조금 주기에 따라 여러 멘토링 집단이 시작될 것입니다. (Formed for Flourishing 타임라인 그래픽을 보라)

저희는 지금 “온전히 살아있는” 기독교 지도자들을 만들어 갈 동역자를 찾고 있습니다. 본인이 1) 부르심을 받은 지 3년이 지나지 않았고 멘토를 원할 경우 2) 5년 이상 사역 경험이 있는 목회자로 멘토가 되기를 원할 경우 3) 목회자들과 일하는 교단 또는 네트워크의 지도자일 경우 이 프로그램의 담당자인 안젤라 베이커 잭슨 (이메일 주소 [email protected])에게 연락 주시기 바랍니다.

Scan here for more about the continuing outcomes of the Money & Ministry Program

Seminarians recognize the necessity of being prepared for the financial realms of their ministries . Some are focused on personal preparation like debt reduction and household budgeting . Others are interested in learning to lead stewardship campaigns and preach faithful sermons about money . Still are others are thinking about what it means to live simply, to spend justly, and to save wisely . All are excellent topics for reflecting with a financial coach .

Central’s Money & Ministry Program, developed over the last two years by Angela Barker Jackson, who also served as the financial coach for the project, was funded by a grant from the Lilly Endowment . See the overall impact in the graphic below and scan the code for more about how the project normalized conversation and reflection about personal and organizational finances with Central students .

“We left Cuba with more questions than when we arrived . It mystified

me – not only the warm hospitality, but moreover the love the people

in the Cuban churches had for God, for each other and for their

community . It was their faithful commitment to God that had resulted

in amazing church growth .”

--Timothy J. Bonner, DMin student

Timothy traveled to Cuba with his DMin cohort in 2018 . A second

group of DMin students will travel there the first week of March, while

a group of students from the Women’s Leadership Initiative will go the

second week of June .

There is a way, deeply rooted in the life of God, that feeds vitality rather than exhaustion and fruitfulness rather than frustration. We can unlearn patterns that hamstring us and cultivate practices that facilitate God’s flourishing in our personal lives, our congregations, and the cultures to which we are called.

“I have never loved conflict . I have never been one to seek it out, and

I definitely have never been one to welcome conflict with open arms .

That is, until I attended Sharon and Dan Buttry’s Training for Conflict

Transformation Trainers (TCTT) in August 2018 .

I still may not ‘love’ conflict, but I no longer feel the dreaded red-alert

urgency that I did when I encounter conflict . For me, conflict is now

an opportunity to engage the skills I learned under my intrepid leaders

and through the engagement of my authentic cohort .”

To ensure that our students are flourishing is an important goal for

Central . So much so that there is a student success team dedicated

to that goal . At its heart is the development of relationships –

between students and faculty, administration, staff, and other

students, as well as to the community in which they live . Some of

these connections happen organically . Others require intentionality .

Our international student population leads the way on exhibiting

both of these ways to connect .

On October 2, 2018, the second annual Evening of Global Learning was held on Central’s Shawnee campus . Doctor of ministry students from four different cohorts - from Myanmar, from the Korean program, and two English-speaking Shawnee cohorts – gathered for an evening of learning from one another and from Dr . Leonard Sweet, E . Stanley Jones Professor of Evangelism at Drew University . This year’s event will be held again in October when the Myanmar Institute of Theology students are on campus, along with Korean and English cohorts .

Dr . Park expressed his hopes for these events:

First, I’d like the students to have a sense of unity in Christ through the fellowship and intercession for one another. Second, I want the groups to have a truly cross-cultural experience. Third, I’d like the students to develop a sense of being a part of the Central community; so that, when they return to their respective ministry settings after their seminars, they will continue to live the vision and spirit of Central Seminary.

At the closing session of the Training for Conflict Transformation Trainers in August, participants tossed a ball of yarn and offered affirmations to one another – a visual demonstration of their newfound connectedness and support. In the foreground are Dan and Sharon Buttry who led this training experience.

Students participate in person in one of the Shawnee campus classrooms optimized for that purpose with cameras, microphones, and large screens or by Zoom from their own computers in locations across the US and the globe.
