A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT At Carey Theological College, under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we hold the conviction that God has spoken and continues to speak in and through Scripture and the Spirit. We describe ourselves as moderate evangelicals within the orthodox Christian tradition. Carey holds as a high value that God calls and sends us to immerse ourselves in God s own mission in the world. Carey places an emphasis on practical experience and in-service learning, on character building, on theological reflection, on Scripture, proclamation, justice, integral mission, evangelism, service and equipping ministries. Spiritual formation is integral to all our programs whether at the level of the Master s degrees or the Doctor of Ministry. Women and men should be able to access quality theological education wherever they live, work and enjoy community. At Carey we believe the best place for the integration of theological education and the lived application is within the local church, and the college is committed to providing quality, accessible degree programs for clergy and laity. Intensive and on-line classes are all part of this flexibility which we provide and these forms of delivery are supportive of life-long learning. Carey faculty members share a wealth of experience in local church ministry, international mission engagement, cross-cultural applications, counseling, chaplaincy, and Christian teacher education. Carey Theological College is an accredited member of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, as well as being an Affiliate College of the University of British Columbia. We participate actively in UBC affairs, and enjoy a working relationship with Regent College, and Taylor Seminary. We are a ministry of the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada and work closely with our international mission board, Canadian Baptist Ministries. Carey has a residential facility for short and long term stays and is available for students doing intensive courses on campus. The Carey Institute serves those wishing to grow in leadership skills and makes learning opportunities available and accessible through non-traditional means. (Please see the Institute s website for more details.) I invite you to give a Carey education your prayerful consideration as the faith community in which to prepare for service in the Reign of God. Dr. Brian F. Stelck, President Academic Catalogue 2012-2013 1

WILLIAM CAREY, D.D. William Carey is known as the Father of Modern Missions. He preached the historic sermon, Expect great things from God; Attempt great things for God. The College is named for William Carey, the missionary, translator, preacher and educator. A MINISTRY OF THE CANADIAN BAPTISTS OF WESTERN CANADA RESOURCE Carey Theological College is a valued resource of the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada (formerly the Baptist Union of Western Canada). The influence of the College extends far beyond its denominational home as it prepares persons for the role of professional ministry while also equipping laypersons for effective leadership and service. HISTORY The Convention of Baptist Churches of British Columbia created Carey Hall, the organizing body of Carey Theological College and Carey Hall Residence on the campus of the University of British Columbia. By an affiliation agreement in 1975, it is now administered as a ministry of the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada. Established by the British Columbia provincial legislature in March of 1959, Carey began operations in the summer of 1960 as a Christian witness and as residence for 42 undergraduate men. This continued until 1975 when the foundation for a graduate program of studies was initiated, leading to the emergence of a Baptist graduate college in June of 1980. While continuing the residence (becoming co-ed in 1985), Carey Hall, through its graduate theological college, offers graduate and continuing education programs of study. As of May 1, 1991, acting with the unanimous approval of the delegates at the Regina Assembly, Carey Hall s Board of Administration created two separate organizations; namely, Carey Theological College, and Carey Hall Residence. Carey Hall remains the holding company for the college and the residence. In 2006, Carey Hall established the Carey Institute to serve the needs of those who wish to grow in their own theological education or leadership skills through non-traditional means such as workshops, seminars, dialogue, focused skill building, mission experiences, and short media presentations, as well as some more traditional course formats. 2 Carey Theological College

THE MISSION, VISION & STATEMENT OF THEOLOGICAL POSITION Mission Statement To the Glory of God, and in cooperation with the CBWC, Carey Theological College seeks to research and deliver biblically informed, historically connected and culturally contextualized theological education to prepare and equip spiritually maturing persons to integrate theological commitment with life in professional and lay ministry. Vision Statement Carey Hall, following the leading of the Holy Spirit, will strive to be on the cutting edge of educating competent Christian leadership to serve the missional church in a global context by: 1. Networking collaboratively with churches, other teaching centers and a major university; and 2. Providing creative life-long learning that integrates ministry and vocation. Using creative faculty, resources chosen for excellence, and a residential community, Carey Hall will maximize the potential of its size, location and partnerships to be a leader in changing theological education. Statement of Theological Position We accept wholeheartedly the revelation of God given in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and confess the faith therein set forth. We here explicitly assert the doctrines which we regard as crucial to the understanding and proclamation of the Gospel and to practical Christian living: 1. The sovereignty, love, and grace of God, the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit in creation, providence, revelation, redemption and final judgment. 2. The divine inspiration of Holy Scripture and its entire trustworthiness and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. 3. The value of each human being as created by God. The universal sinfulness of humankind since the fall, which alienates all from God and subjects all to condemnation. Academic Catalogue 2012-2013 3

4. The full deity and humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, whose substitutionary sacrifice is the sole ground of redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin. 5. The justification of the sinner by the grace of God through faith alone in Christ crucified and risen from the dead. 6. The illuminating, regenerating, indwelling and sanctifying work of God, the Holy Spirit, in the believer. 7. The church as set forth in the New Testament and understood historically by the Baptist community. 8. The expectation of the personal, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ, our participation in the resurrection, and the hope of eternal life. EDUCATIONAL DISTINCTIVES ACADEMIC Established in March, 1959, through An Act to Incorporate Carey Hall by the provincial legislature of British Columbia, Carey Theological College has the right to offer degrees in theology up to and including the doctoral level. Committed to academic excellence for the practice of ministry, Carey Theological College is a vibrant community of Christ-centered learning. PRACTICAL Carey Theological College is committed to helping educate and train Christian leaders particularly, but not exclusively, for the Canadian context. The college is a professional institution where those with requisite gifts, ability and call are prepared for Christian ministry. A major ministry supervision component is integral to this emphasis. In fact, it is believed that theology, even in its most theoretical form, is essentially practical, since theology and the practice of ministry are inseparably related. The recognition of the vital interdependence between theological/biblical studies and ministry is a special emphasis of the curriculum as it has developed to date at Carey Theological College. At the same time, there are always a number of students in attendance who are preparing to serve as more effective Christians in the community, business, and professional areas to which they believe they have been called. ACCREDITATION & AFFILIATION Carey Theological College, a ministry of the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada, is evangelical and utterly committed to Jesus Christ and His gospel. Doctrinally, it takes 4 Carey Theological College

its position in the mainstream of evangelical Protestantism. It is committed to the historic, orthodox teachings of Christianity as revealed in the scriptures. This theological position allows for working relationships with various churches and parachurch ministries, demonstrating openness while remaining true to the Baptist community. Carey Theological College is accredited by the Commission on Accrediting of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, and the following degree programs are approved: Master of Divinity (MDiv) Master of Pastoral Ministry (MPM) Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation (MASF) Doctor of Ministry (DMin) Carey Theological College is approved for a Comprehensive Distance Education Program.

As an affiliated college of the University of British Columbia, Carey has access to the many university facilities. Although affiliation with UBC means that established criteria are met by Carey Theological College, it does not imply any scrutiny or approval of course offerings by the University of British Columbia Senate. The programs of Carey Theological College are subject to continuous approval of the college s Senate. Academic Catalogue 2012-2013 5

STUDY PROGRAMS Carey Theological College is a graduate theological college and holds a charter from the Province of British Columbia to grant graduate theological degrees. Carey Theological College is committed to credible academic scholarship and competent ministry. It strives to maintain a high level of education in providing graduate ministry training. Following is a list of study programs available through the College: Master of Divinity (MDiv) Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation (MASF) Centre for Spiritual Formation (CSF) Doctor of Ministry (DMin) Learning Modes At Carey, teaching and learning take place in various modes, including traditional classroom settings of four or five-day onsite intensives, weekend and weeknight courses, online courses, and hybrid courses (a mix of online and onsite). All courses run for 12 weeks. In the case of hybrid courses, there will be an online component before/after the onsite intensive. Students are advised to register a minimum of two weeks prior to the beginning of the term and to purchase their textbooks well in advance. To enhance Carey s ability to serve a broad range of student learning styles and student work experiences, instructional technologies are used to deliver certain course components. Instructional technologies may reduce travel, boost collaboration, and allow people to learn in different modes. Electronic bulletin boards, computer-mediated class discussions, blogs, videoconferencing and web streaming over the internet are some of the alternative delivery methods that may be used to provide flexibility for students to access theological education. Guided Studies provide students with the opportunity to study in areas of personal interest beyond those of the established curriculum. Details regarding such courses are available from the Registrar s office. Such studies may be taken after approval by the Registrar, in consultation with the VP Academic, and the appropriate instructor s consent. Required courses will not be offered as Guided Studies, so students should plan to complete all required elements of their program in the modular format or online format when they are offered. Guided studies are reserved for topics in which a student may wish to pursue individual study with a professor and may be used only to fill electives within the academic program. 6 Carey Theological College

MASTER OF DIVINITY (MDiv) The Master of Divinity degree is widely recognised as the foundational program to prepare persons for ordained ministry and for pastoral leadership in congregations and other settings. Carey s MDiv program is designed with the conviction that preparation for ministry is most effective when located in the local church. Students remain rooted in their primary community during their course of study, and throughout their preparation they continue to grow and learn in their own place of life and ministry. In this way, students contextualize their learning in a ministry setting that is familiar to them, and their preparation need not disrupt their ministry commitments. Courses in the MDiv program make extensive use of online interaction, in combination with intensive classroom sessions where appropriate. The favourable faculty to student ratio allows smaller class sizes as well as close involvement by faculty in the learning process and in the formation of each student. State-of-the-art learning technologies, hosted and supported by UBC, ensure that students engage fully their communities and their learning, whether students are located in Vancouver or across the country. The program seeks to equip students across a broad-ranging set of graduate capacities: biblical knowledge, theological understanding, knowledge of the Christian heritage, personal and relational maturity, spiritual formation, prophetic and priestly orientation, and congregational and community leadership. While each area receives its due place and emphasis within the program, the themes of personal maturity and spiritual formation, which make up one-sixth of the program, have been particularly well received for their relevance to ministry. The Master of Divinity is also offered with a concentration in North American Chinese Church Ministries (NACCM) to provide contextualized training for leadership in trilingual (Mandarin, Cantonese and English) and bicultural (Chinese and Western) North American Chinese Church communities. This concentration is designed to help students learn, reflect, dialogue and integrate the larger holistic Christian tradition with the specific North American Chinese church context in order to take up roles as second- and third-generation leaders and to meet the particular challenges and opportunities that present themselves. MDiv Course Requirements To earn the MDiv degree, each student must complete the Graduate Studies Orientation and 72 credits of study. In order to ensure an appropriate educational community, one year of full time academic study (8 courses/24 credits) shall be completed as Hybrid (partly online and partly onsite) courses, with the onsite component on location at the College. These 8 courses normally will be offered in four-day modules. The other 48 credits are offered in online format. Academic Catalogue 2012-2013 7

Normally, it is awarded to the student publicly at graduation, annually in May. Affirmation for Ministry The Affirmation for Ministry designation is an affirmation of a student s call to and preparation for ministry and is in addition to the MDiv degree that is granted by Carey Theological College. This affirmation expresses the conviction that preparation for ministry involves growth in all dimensions of life, including the academic, spiritual, personal, social, and vocational. The granting [or withholding] of the designation is the result of a process of discernment that engages Carey faculty, students, and others over the course of a student s program at Carey. The aim of this process is to identify and encourage the student s gifts for ministry and to prepare the student for a lifetime of faithful and joyful ministry. The faculty of Carey recognizes that ministry 10 Carey Theological College

is empowered by grace and that readiness for ministry is different for each student, but this recognition accompanies the conviction that readiness for ministry also entails commitment, discipline and excellence. Suitability for ministry is also part of the discernment process and the faculty reserves the right to withhold affirmation if a student is considered to be unfit or unsuitable for ministry. Admission: The process of discernment begins with the student s application and reference, where attention focuses on the student s call to and preparation for ministry. Both the student and the student s referees are asked to identify areas of strength and weakness that will require attention during the student s education. Stage 1 (Credits 1-36): The process of discernment continues at the student s orientation to the Master of Divinity program, making use of the Profile of Ministry Stage 1 tool and a variety of other testing tools. Each student will have the opportunity to discuss their goals with the Director of Supervised Ministry and with their faculty advisor to review goals and discern progress. Students who have identified the denomination or organization in which they expect to serve also should be in regular contact with their judicatory body. Progression from the first to the second stage involves an assessment process that is shared by the student and the faculty. Stage 2 (Credits 37-72): The second stage of the MDiv program involves the faculty, persons involved with the student in the Supervised Ministry program, the Profile of Ministry Stage 2 indicator, and, of course, the student s own continued discernment. The fruit of the shared discernment process will result in the faculty s granting (or withholding) of the Affirmation for Ministry. The granting or withholding of the Affirmation is noted on each student s final transcript. Should the Affirmation be withheld and a student wishes to appeal, the student should follow the appeal process outlined in the College catalogue. Students are urged to be active participants in this process and to see it as an equipping and enabling process. They are encouraged to enter into continuous conversation with the faculty, staff, and students of Carey about their preparation for ministry. Note to students from Canadian Baptists of Western Canada Churches anticipating professional ministry: Students who wish to be placed with Canadian Baptists of Western Canada churches or its ministries, or who wish to apply to Canadian Baptist Ministries, should identify themselves to the President of Carey Theological College. The President will provide further current information regarding the process toward: recognition as a Ministerial Student (as well as validation for assistance from student aid funds); entering into the Graduate Internship Program; and becoming a candidate for ordination. Academic Catalogue 2012-2013 11

Graduate Studies Orientation All new MDiv students are required to attend the Graduate Studies Orientation, held annually in September. The scheduled date in 2012 is September 14 & 15. The Graduate Studies Orientation introduces the learning objectives of the degree program and prepares students to re-enter the academic world while remaining involved in practical ministry. It provides a foundation for the process of discernment of ministry gifts and skills, and the deepening of Christian character, which are integral to readiness for ministry. Various assessment tools are a part of this process. The Orientation is scheduled immediately after a four-day on-site course, SPIR 500 Spiritual Formation I. It is recommended that all students attending Orientation plan to take the SPIR 500 intensive also. MASTER OF ARTS IN SPIRITUAL FORMATION (MASF) The Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation prepares persons to offer leadership in the area of spiritual formation in congregations and other settings, which may include congregational formation ministries, lay leadership training, spiritual direction and retreat ministries. The MA in Spiritual Formation is shaped by the conviction that the process of being formed by the Holy Spirit through God into the likeness of Christ involves both the inward journey of a deepening life with God and the outward expression of that life in compassion. Designed with two eight-day retreats at the heart of the program, the MASF is a 48 credit hour program, delivered through a blend of residential, hybrid and on-line courses. The goals of the MASF program are to equip students to be able to: think biblically and theologically about the content of spiritual formation and the experience of the Christian life; situate life experiences in relationship to formative biblical movements and learn to find one s life narrated into the Great God Story appreciate how persons in various times have come to know and be formed by God; be encouraged by the persistence of God with God s people and deepen respect for the diverse ways in which God s people have responded to the invitation to live a deepening life with God evidence practices and perspectives that sustain life with God; deepen Christian character and increase self-understanding design, lead and assess ministries of spiritual formation and the public work of the church 12 Carey Theological College

CENTRE FOR SPIRITUAL FORMATION (CSF) Spiritual Formation as we understand it Spiritual Formation is a process by which the Holy Spirit is actively forming believers lives in Christ so that increasingly they might individually and corporately live to the glory of God as revealed in scripture. The purpose of the Centre for Spiritual Formation is to cultivate, within the participant s life, a deepening desire to grow in Christ and to facilitate the integration of individual s inner spiritual experience with outward, compassionate expression. The Carey Distinctive Carey Theological College offers a distinctive emphasis on: 1) a Trinitarian understanding of God; 2) the centrality and authority of scripture; and 3) a commitment to understanding conversion as new birth and as an experience central to Christian spirituality. Genuine spiritual growth is born out of and is an expression of that conversion. By encouraging believers to pursue the meaning and significance of their own conversion experience, their individual freedom of conscience is affirmed as they grow toward a deeper relationship in and with Christ. Spiritual Formation seeks to address the ongoing conversion process that takes place in the believer s life while being transformed into the image of Christ. The Centre for Spiritual Formation stresses the importance of the priesthood of believers not only as a foundational theological principle, but also as the context in Academic Catalogue 2012-2013 15

which spiritual transformation properly takes place. This tenet, companioned with freedom of conscience, encourages both a personal and a corporate responsibility in matters of spiritual transformation, the honoring of tradition and discernment in mission and service. Such an emphasis strengthens inward spiritual renewal while nurturing giftedness for ministry both in the church and in the world at large. Program Concept This program is designed to assist the individual in realizing his or her own unique potential and approach to life with God and in the world. Spiritual formation takes place not only in the context of solitude, but also in the context of community. Thus, the Centre will be experienced both as a program of independent study and personal discipline and as an experience of community interaction and accountability. Program Overview To facilitate the participant s development of a comprehensive and holistic devotional life, the program utilizes a variety of different educational methods and environments. Each two-year program begins with an eight-day intensive. This is a concentrated period of study, prayer, solitude and discussion. After the first intensive, participants will complete a curriculum of reading and reflection and meet with other participants in spiritual companionship groups, returning for a second eight-day intensive one year later. Eight-Day Intensive Summary Year One: CSF 500 Awakening to the Inward Journey Scriptural and Historical Foundations Spiritual Practices A Unique Life of Spiritual Devotion Dates: June 3-10, 2013 (for the cohort starting in 2013) June 2-9, 2014 (for the cohort starting in 2014) Year Two: CSF 600 Living in the Outward Journey Befriending Creation Discernment and Guidance Befriending the Neighbour Dates: April 12-19, 2013 (for the cohort starting in 2012) May 9-16, 2014 (for the cohort starting in 2013) Between the Eight-Day Intensives Following the first Eight-Day Intensive, the participant enters a one-year period of guided study and development that includes spiritual companionship, and personal study. The primary focus is the participant s personal spiritual development in the 16 Carey Theological College

context of his or her own life and ministry. Following the second intensive, the participant may continue to meet with other participants for spiritual companionship; develops their spiritual practices and awareness of God under the guidance of a spiritual director; and plans and fulfills a volunteer project of their own design. Application The Centre for Spiritual Formation is open to all who desire a deepening of their relationship with God through Jesus Christ and through the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Application can be made to Carey Theological College. This program is open to people of all Christian denominations. The program normally requires a baccalaureate degree. DOCTOR OF MINISTRY (DMin) The Doctor of Ministry degree is the highest earned degree for the profession of ministry. The Doctor of Ministry degree offered by Carey Theological College is intended to: Equip ministers to reach a higher level of effectiveness in the practice of ministry Deepen ministers awareness of the theological framework out of which their ministry grows Enhance life and ministry in the setting which the minister serves The Doctor of Ministry program at Carey Theological College is founded on the conviction that effectiveness in ministry practice grows out of thoughtful, reflective integration of theology and ministry. As a result, the DMin program is embedded in the life-stream of the church and normally offered only to those who will be engaged in active ministry for the duration of the program. An action-reflection process is employed throughout the program and ministers are regularly directed to the context of their specific ministry settings. Relationship to the Church Carey Theological College is committed to the local church, which is the locus of ministry for many DMin students. The College expects the local church to benefit from the investment of time by their minister in DMin education. Those serving in non-congregational settings, such as mission, hospital or spiritual direction, are expected to pay similar attention to the way in which their DMin education benefits others.

This includes a philosophical framework, theological reflection, integration of spiritual formation and academic work, and an orientation to library use. Required Courses: There are five required courses which make up the heart of the Doctor of Ministry program. Three of the five required courses are residential courses. For these the minister comes to the Carey campus to learn with other ministers at similar stages in the DMin Program. The residential courses are: 18 Carey Theological College

DMCO 991 Reflecting Theologically in Ministry I DMCO 992 Reflecting Theologically in Ministry II DMPS 900 Project Seminar The two remaining required courses are DMCC 901 Research & Design Methodology for Ministry, which is offered as an on-line course, and DMCO 996 Congregational Engagement, which is the final required course. The latter takes the form of an independent study in its design and learning activity and is conducted in the minister s setting of ministry. It should enhance the ministry setting and will involve the assignment of a Supervisor. Electives: A number of courses will be offered each year at Carey during the two teaching times of January and May/June from which the minister makes up the five remaining courses of their program. The minister may also choose to take advantage of learning opportunities in other DMin programs, with approval of the Doctor of Ministry Director. Rationale: The effectiveness of DMin education is based upon the minister s ability to practice thoughtful theological reflection on the work of ministry. This reflection is founded on the historic disciplines. Candidacy: Once a student has completed the required courses, the Congregational Engagement and the electives, and a doctoral project proposal has been presented and accepted, a candidacy evaluation will be conducted. On successful recommendation, the student enters the candidacy phase of the Doctoral program. Doctoral Project: The intent of the doctoral project is to demonstrate advanced competence in the field of ministry and to contribute knowledge to the understanding of ministry. The integrative method practiced in the theological reflection courses is brought to bear upon an area of ministry in which the minister is actively engaged. The Doctoral Project normally features an articulated ministry problem or question, a definable Doctoral Project, theological reflection on the project and evaluation of the minister s own leadership. The candidate is required to present this doctoral project in a form which allows for its transmission to a wider audience and/or academic community. Anyone wishing to use formats other than a dissertation style must seek approval from the DMin Director. Guided Study: Each minister will be permitted to develop up to two guided studies specific to their field of interest. The study must be approved in writing by the DMin Director before the student begins the work. Guided studies take the place of electives in the minister s program of study. Clinical Pastoral Education: Doctoral students will be permitted to present one advanced unit from an accredited CPE program for six credits towards the DMin program. The units must not have been credited as part of an MDiv program of studies. The unit may be taken as part of the DMin program. A Specialty or a Supervisory unit may be presented for up to 6 credit hours towards the DMin program. Academic Catalogue 2012-2013 19

Advanced Standing: Applicants who have completed a ThM after an MDiv may apply for six credit hours of advanced standing towards the DMin. Doctoral credits earned at other institutions will normally be transferred into the Carey Theological College Doctor of Ministry Degree Program as part of the elective requirements. Oral Presentation: Carey Theological College requires an oral presentation as one of several tools of evaluation used throughout the Doctor of Ministry program. This presentation will take place at the conclusion of the program and normally will be scheduled for the final Friday or Saturday in May, prior to the graduation ceremony. The purpose is three-fold. The presentation allows each candidate to present the nature of their Doctoral Project, along with the methodology, significant findings, and implications for ministry and further research. As well as being a fitting conclusion to the written project, the presentation requires the candidate to prepare the highlights of the project in the form of a briefer document, such as might later be presented at an academic or ministry conference. A minimum of three faculty members will examine the candidate following the presentation to ensure complete satisfaction with the quality of the educational process and project. Learning Modes and Resources Ministry Based Program: The Carey Theological College Doctor of Ministry is a competency and congregationally based ministry program. The expectation is that the ministry setting (often, but not always, a congregation) also benefits from this educational process. The candidate receives an academic credential and the corporate identity, ministry, and mission of the congregation or ministry setting are enhanced. Self-Directed Learning: Self-directed learning supported by supervision is expected at the doctoral level. Faculty of Carey Theological College and adjunct faculty approved by the Senate of Carey Theological College facilitate the discovery and expansion of individual learning styles. The intent is to assist the candidate in developing his or her personal ministry competencies and enhance his or her theoretical and practical skills relating to ministry. Collegial Learning: Ministry professionals frequently discover they are challenged to a greater excellence by being involved with a quality peer group. The DMin program provides for learning through collegial collaboration with other ministers, faculty and Christian leaders. Common results include important refinements in theory of ministry and greater confidence in ministry. The doctoral program recognizes the adult characteristics of advanced learning and therefore the pedagogy reflects the rich classroom resource of experienced professionals. Supervision: Each participant will receive supervisory support. Supervisors who are familiar with the student s context or a parallel situation will be an integral part of the learning resources for the program. 20 Carey Theological College

GRADING & ACADEMIC INFORMATION CREDIT TRANSFER Students with previous theological training from a recognized institution may be granted certain credits toward their program of study upon application. Requests for transferred credits from other institutions or continuing education programs should be addressed to the Registrar and accompanied by documentation relating to the course requirements, syllabus, learning outcomes, class time, evaluation and transcript of marks. Transferred credit may not necessarily involve exemption from certain required courses. Shared Credit: Where a particular undergraduate course from an accredited Bible College or religious institution can be shown to have specific relevance to one s Masters program at Carey, up to 6 credits may be granted as shared credit. A minimum grade of B- is required and the course must have been taken within the last ten years. These shared credits are applied to Carey s introductory courses only and transfer fees apply. Those who wish to take courses at another institution for credit must receive prior written approval for the course. Requests for credit toward the Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation and the Master of Divinity degrees must be made to the Registrar of Carey Theological College; requests for credit toward the Doctor of Ministry must be made to the DMin Director of Carey Theological College. After written approval is received, the student must make application and register for such courses with the appropriate institution. On completion, an official transcript must be sent to the Registrar s Office. There is a fee for transfer credits. Carey course offerings are published in advance so that students may plan their course load to fulfill the requirements of their program.

COURSE WITHDRAWAL POLICY After the period for which tuition refunds are available, a W will be placed on the transcript of a student who withdraws from any course within the first half of the course. Beyond those dates, an F will be recorded on the student s transcript. Students who undergo extreme hardship which was not of their causing, was beyond their ability to control, and prevents them from completing course requirements even given an extension, may appeal, in writing, to the Registrar for a Withdrawal from the course. If granted, a grade of W will be recorded on the student s transcript. GRADE CHANGES It is the student s responsibility to appeal any error in grades and to bring it to the faculty or instructor s attention within two months following the issued grade. Grade changes are allowable for computational recording errors and must be corrected no later than the last day of classes of the next full term. A student will be permitted to repeat a course in which he/she has received an F grade. The better grade will appear on the student s transcript and an R will replace the F. Any one course may be repeated up to two times. Regular tuition fees will be charged for repeated courses. EXTENSIONS Extensions for course work will only be granted in exceptional circumstances. If a student requests an extension that will make it impossible for the professor to submit the final grade no later than one month following the final assignment, the student must petition the Registrar s Office. If the Registrar s Office grants such a request, the extension deadlines will be clearly established and will be final. Work granted an extension may receive a grade reduction of up to one-third of the final mark. ACADEMIC PROBATION In each program of study, Carey Theological College sets standards for the competencies students are expected to achieve. Satisfactory academic performance (MDiv = B-; MASF = B-) is a necessary prerequisite for a student to continue their program of studies. Should a student achieve final course grades that are below the minimum standard in three courses or fail to complete those courses within the specified time lines, that student will be placed on Academic Probation. Under Academic Probation, a student will be placed under the supervision of the Admissions Committee which may recommend one of several alternatives including remedial work, personal counseling, extension of time to complete the program, or withdrawal from studies. Academic Catalogue 2012-2013 31

STUDENT APPEALS Students are assured the right to appeal any judgment relative to their academic program, whether it is permission to enter a degree program, a ruling regarding academic procedure or a grade given in any academic work. The appeal normally would be made, in the first instance, to the person or committee responsible for the decision under dispute (e.g. grades to Faculty, admissions to the Admissions Office). Any such appeal must be initiated no later than two months following notification of a ruling or a grade being issued. A written statement of the ruling will be issued to the student. Where the student is not satisfied that the appeal is fairly heard or considered, a further appeal may be made in writing to the Vice President Academic. The Vice President Academic will hear and discuss the circumstances attending the complaint and counsel the student regarding the issue. A written statement of the ruling will be issued to the student. In the event that the appeal is related to the Vice President Academic or the Admissions Officer, the President will hear and discuss the circumstances attending the complaint and counsel the student regarding the issue. A written statement of the ruling will be issued to the student. If the student is still not satisfied, the ruling may be appealed in a written summation to the Appeals Committee of the Senate of Carey Theological College. The decision registered by the Senate of Carey Theological College is final. STUDENT REPRESENTATION TO THE SENATE All students are represented on the Senate of the College by MDiv student, David Grice. Students may contact their representative by email at studentrep@careyedu.ca ACADEMIC INTEGRITY A high standard of academic integrity is expected of all Carey Theological College students. Any infraction will be treated seriously and may be grounds for dismissal. It is important that students understand what constitutes a lack of academic integrity and is considered to be academic dishonesty. Plagiarism misrepresents the work of another person (in whole or in part) as a student s own work or fails to give credit for either wording or ideas that belong to another. Learning to cite accurately other s work is critical for all students. Submitting the same material for credit in more than one course misrepresents effort and is dishonest. Using unauthorized aids of any sort in examinations, completing work in unauthorized collaboration with others, or the unauthorized recording and use of class lectures are all examples of breaches in academic integrity. The penalty for a lack of academic integrity may include a failing grade either in the assignment, examination or course, depending on the severity of the offense. 32 Carey Theological College

Penalties will be recorded in writing and a note placed in the student s file, as well as communicated directly to the student by the professor and/or the Registrar. All students are responsible for knowing and practicing academic integrity. Students are expected to become familiar with the Plagiarism Resource Centre for students at: http://www.library.ubc.ca/home/plagiarism/ NON-ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE Carey Theological College attempts to provide a Christian community for students. Christian community involves communication, cooperation, commitment, and consideration of others. A student with a grievance of a non-academic nature may bring that grievance in writing to the President. GENDER LANGUAGE As language usage changes over time, the church must discern where its own language must change in order to continue to bear witness faithfully to the gospel. Modern English usage has moved away from using masculine terms to refer to groups that include women. The continued use of such terms in worship, writing, or conversation miscommunicates the invitation of the gospel and the nature of the church. This policy refers to humankind. Examples of inclusive language for persons can be found in the NRSV and the TNIV translations. In regards to Scripture texts, the integrity of the original expressions and names of God should be respected. The language of previous eras and other authors need not be rewritten to conform to contemporary usage. It is expected that inclusive language will be used in written work, publications, and classroom conversation at Carey Theological College. DISCRIMINATION AND HARRASSMENT POLICY Carey seeks to be a community in which students, faculty and staff can grow together, free from discrimination and harassment. We are identified by our commitment to Jesus Christ and to the Scriptures which make Him known. Our purpose is that each of the members of Carey lead exemplary and honourable lives, consistent with and faithful to this revelation. So it is that we seek to love, honour, serve, guide and, where we have failed, to seek to make and be made right with one another. We acknowledge that we sometimes fail to live up to the high ideals upon which we claim to rest. Relationships may be fractured through acts or attitudes that either intentionally or unintentionally cause hurt. Discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment, are two of many possible ways in which this sense of Christian community may be betrayed. Anyone who believes that he or she has been subjected to comment or conduct which might constitute discrimination or harassment should report it to the Registrar. Academic Catalogue 2012-2013 33

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS Course offerings and schedules are subject to change without notice, but whenever possible we do endeavour to notify students in advance. Please check the College website at www.carey-edu.ca for up-to-date information on scheduling of courses. Students are requested to register for a course at least 10 days prior to the beginning of the class. MASTER OF DIVINITY AND MASTER OF ARTS IN SPIRITUAL FORMATION APPL 500 Guided Study Guided Studies provide students with an opportunity to engage in an area of study not specifically covered by current foundational curriculum. APPL 511 Introduction to Preaching (3 credits) The course focuses on the formation and development of the skills necessary to develop and deliver a biblical sermon. Sermons will be preached in ministry settings of the student s choice. Sermons will be evaluated by a committee of congregation members in that setting, as well as by the professor. Prerequisites: BIBL 503, BIBL 501, BIBL 512, & BIBL 513. APPL 512 Worship: Theology and Praxis (3 credits) This course examines the biblical origins, theological foundation, historical development and contemporary trends in Christian worship. Students will be given opportunities for planning and leading worship and performing Christian ordinances. APPL 546 Understanding Marriage and Family (3 credits) This course will focus on the psychological, social and spiritual factors that are important in developing a strong family life. We will offer an in-depth psychological and theological look at problem areas encountered by families in their various developmental stages. The professor will emphasize a positive approach by focusing on how difficult family stresses can be resolved in the Christian family and church with the resources of faith. The format will consist of lectures, theological reflection, videos and interactional kinds of learning. As there will be a workshop element to several of the sessions, students will be required to respond in a self-disclosing manner from their own experiences. The ethics of confidentiality will be practiced in the Intensive, online work and in all assignments. APPL 574 Introduction to Pastoral Care (3 credits) The course will survey the broad theological, psychological and practical foundations critical to the task of pastoral care. From a strongly articulated theological understanding of pastoral care, the course will provide the student with skill to apply their learning in real life settings. General care, crisis care, marriage, death and bereavement will be the main issues of the course. Academic Catalogue 2012-2013 41

APPL 580 Leadership (3 credits) This course acknowledges that understanding servant leadership in the church is one of the major issues in the growth of the Christian community today. Drawing upon biblical teachings regarding servant leadership and reviewing current theory and practice from the business sector, this course will explore the nature of effective servant leadership. APPL 685 Teaching & Learning in the Church (3 credits) This course examines adult Christian education in view of the shifting ways that adults understand truth, religious belief, commitment and community. It examines various perspectives on learning, asking in each case how those perspectives might ground and enrich contemporary adult Christian education. With these foundations, the course helps its participants design and implement effective learning experiences for church-going adults. Participants will have opportunity to articulate their own philosophy of adult Christian education and to consider how to implement and realize that understanding in an actual church setting. APPL 690 Supervised Ministry (6 credits) The goal of this course is readiness for effective ministry. It is an eleven-month orientation to ministry which has at its heart an individually-designed ministry experience involving supervision, selected reading, reflection on ministry through journaling and reports, and direct ministry involvement. Students are advised to enrol when they have completed 15-30 credit hours of study. Prerequisite: Completion of at least 15 credits. APPL 695 MASF Practicum (6 credits) A six-credit hour practicum will be designed to enable students to gain both practical skill and vocational discernment. Practica may be completed in a variety of settings, including but not restricted to congregational ministry, retreat settings, and the public work of the church. Students wishing to focus on learning to accompany persons in the ministry of spiritual direction will be encouraged to complete their practica in a context that focuses on this role. Prerequisites: CSF 500 and a total of at least 24 credits either completed or in progress. Prerequisite or Co-requisite: CSF 610. In addition, if the practicum is in spiritual direction, SPIR 588 is a prerequisite. BIBL 501 Introduction to Old Testament (3 credits) The purpose of this course is to give an overview of the background and contents of the Old Testament as Christian Scripture, to offer a basic orientation to the field of OT study, and to locate the place of the OT in the life of the Church today. Prerequisite: BIBL 503. BIBL 503 Reading & Speaking the Text (3 credits) This is an introductory course in which the student is exposed to the basic steps and some of the tools and methodology for interpreting the Bible. The course 42 Carey Theological College

emphasizes hands-on experience in exegetical method. At the same time some of the preliminary questions of hermeneutics are also addressed. BIBL 512 New Testament I: Jesus and the Gospels (3 credits) Within the Christian Church and secular society we see renewed controversy concerning Jesus. One s perception of Jesus is contingent on which sources one views as genuine. The course starts with a survey of the non-biblical sources for the life, ministry and teaching of Jesus. It then provides an historical overview of the most influential interpreters of Jesus. With this background, the student is prepared for a detailed study of the four New Testament Gospels. While attention is given to the first century, the focus is on the contemporary relevance of Jesus ministry and teaching for the life of the individual and church. Prerequisite: BIBL 503. BIBL 513 New Testament II: Acts-Revelation (3 credits) This course explores how Acts to Revelation build upon the foundation laid by Jesus life and ministry. Special attention is given to God s use of people such as Paul, Peter and John to further the cause of the kingdom. Various critical theological issues and background information will be studied. In addition, the course provides an introduction to Biblical Greek. Prerequisite: BIBL 503. CSF 500 Awakening to the Inward Journey (6 credits) Spiritual formation is the process of being formed by the Holy Spirit through God into the likeness of Christ. It involves both an inward journey of a deepening life with God and the outward expression of that life in compassion. This course will lay a foundation for the inward journey through focusing on biblical movements in relation to one s personal story, Christian spiritual formation through the ages, selfunderstanding and practices that cultivate God-attentiveness. CSF 600/CSF 610 Living in the Outward Journey (6 or 9 credits respectively) Relationality is at the heart of God and thus the heart of Christian spirituality. We do not become spiritually mature without others. Christian community within which and through which we live out the spiritual life is a reflection of our relationship with God and others. Ours is a shared journey. As we willingly open ourselves to the transformative movement of the love of God, we open ourselves to the world around us. The inward/outward spiritual experience is a participation in Jesus incarnational presence, through the Spirit, giving flesh to God s compassionate love of humanity and all creation. The outward journey takes into consideration the persons we are, our interests, our personality, and our unique relationship with God and weaves that uniqueness into the fabric of community, the people of God. Together we are entrusted with the challenge of embodying the values and vision of God s kingdom. The Spirit of God invites us to be an attentive and responsive presence as we listen for and respond to the guidance of that still small voice guiding our journey together; a journey that Academic Catalogue 2012-2013 43

promotes and establishes healing and hope, compassion and justice, peace and reconciliation, in the world on earth, as it is in heaven. Prerequisite: CSF 500. FORM 500 Character and Call I (3 credits) FORM 501 Character and Call II (3 credits) The essential foundation of Christian ministry is one s character and call. Skills, knowledge, ministry practices and spiritual gifts are built on this essential and personal core. The purpose of these courses is to assist students in discerning their call to vocational Christian ministry (inside and outside of the church) and to explore with them the essential spiritual, familial, personality, emotional and character issues that enable a lifetime of faithfulness and enjoyment of Christian ministry. As such, the course serves to focus and strengthen the student in pastoral ethics. Our learning will be highly personal, dialectic and discovery focused, where more than academic competency is required. FORM 500 focuses on the shaping of the Ministry Leader as Person, while FORM 501 focuses on the shaping of the Health of the Minister and the Health of the Ministry. Note: The two courses may be taken in either sequence, but not in the same term. HIST 503 Global Christian History (3 credits) A survey of the history of Christianity from the end of the New Testament era (ca. 100 C.E.) to the present through an examination of both primary and secondary texts with an emphasis on Christian theology, spirituality, ethics, institutional developments, and the interaction between culture and faith, in a global context. HIST 562 Baptist Identity (3 credits) Baptists constitute a people within the family of Christian churches who share a common history and a common vision of the Christian faith. This course seeks to introduce the distinctive character of the Baptist heritage with a view toward our shared task, namely, ministering in western Canada in the twenty-first century. MISS 535 Integral Mission (3 credits) The notion of integral mission emerged out of 20th century discussion and debate in evangelical and ecumenical circles concerning the Church, the Gospel, and the mission of God in the world. This course introduces that history through relevant readings, examines key Biblical principles, and provides an overview of mission methods and strategies that illustrate integral mission in practice. MLOS 500 Graduate Studies Orientation (non-credit) The Graduate Studies Orientation introduces the learning objectives of the degree program and prepares students to re-enter the academic world while remaining involved in practical ministry. It provides a foundation for the process of discernment of ministry gifts and skills, and the deepening of Christian character, which are integral to readiness for ministry. Ministry audits are a part of this process. 44 Carey Theological College

NACC 635 Rethinking the Mission of North American Chinese Christian Communities 北 美 華 人 教 會 社 會 使 命 (3 credits) This course is designed to help leaders to rethink the identity and mission of Chinese Christian communities in North America from the larger social context. This course will engage students in learning and reading the contemporary Western postmodern culture, specifically in the North American society, and its implication on mission, evangelism, and the ministries of justice and mercy. NACC 670 Reading the Contexts of Chinese Churches in North America 北 美 華 人 教 會 文 化 詮 釋 (3 credits) This course will explore the historical background and cultural framework that influence the life and ministry of Chinese congregations in North America. Students will learn to reflect, interpret and critique theologically on the history of the Chinese and immigrant church, prominent Chinese Christian spiritualities, cultural values such as face and shame, filial piety and family system, and in light of the larger North American context. NACC 680 Leadership Issues in North American Chinese Churches 北 美 華 人 教 會 教 牧 領 導 (3 credits) This course is designed to address specific issues confronting inward and outward expressions of North American Chinese pastoral leadership which include the understanding of calling and identity, pastoral ethics, interpersonal relationships and power dynamics, pastoral and congregational relationships, team work, communication and addressing conflict, and church governance issues. NACC 685 Liturgical and Congregational Concerns in North American Chinese Churches 北 美 華 人 教 會 牧 養 藝 術 (3 credits) This course will address liturgical and congregational concerns pertaining to the particular context of North American Chinese congregations. Special attention will be paid to the area of pastoral care, worship, preaching and inter-generational ministries in North American Chinese congregations. SPIR 500 Spiritual Formation I (3 credits) Through this course, students will learn to recognize the relationship between the inward journey of a deepening life with God and the outward expression of that life in compassion. In addition, they will deepen their desire to grow in Christ and learn to use spiritual practices that facilitate that desire and sustain life with God. This course precedes Spiritual Formation II. SPIR 501 Spiritual Formation II (3 credits) Relationality is at the heart of God and thus the heart of Christian spirituality. We do not become spiritually mature without others. This course will consider the Christian community within which and through which we live out a shared spiritual life. A communal spirituality demands that we be full participants in a more vibrant, shared Academic Catalogue 2012-2013 45

expression of Jesus incarnational presence; giving flesh to God s compassionate love of humanity and all creation. The outward journey is the way of community, a community entrusted with the challenge of embodying the values and vision of God s kingdom. The Spirit of God invites us to be an attentive and responsive presence as we listen for and respond to the guidance of that still small voice guiding our journey together. This course will focus on the role of leadership in community by addressing topics such as the temptations of spiritual leadership, contemplative communities of action, spiritual practices for the outward journey, and Christian spirituality and creation care. Prerequisite: SPIR 500. SPIR 588 Introduction to Spiritual Direction (3 credits) Spiritual Direction is the simple gift of offering to another person the gentle but tenacious encouragement to open oneself fully to God s loving presence and to codiscern God s action in every aspect of life. In receiving spiritual direction, we learn to open our hearts more deeply in trust and surrender. Spiritual direction provides a safe and yet challenging place where our story can be honoured as the raw material in which we learn to discern the signs of God drawing us into the intimacy of loving union and intimacy with God. Through spiritual direction we also learn to follow the Spirit s guidance as we discover how to integrate and express God s presence in our everyday choices. Prerequisite: CSF 500; Prerequisite or Co-requisite: CSF 610. SPIR 589 A Deepening Life of Prayer (3 credits) A.W. Tozer, one of the great Evangelical statesmen of the 20th century, wrote, The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring us to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that we may enter into Him, that we may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of our hearts. In that statement, Tozer gives voice to a way of deepening prayer that has been at the heart of the Christian tradition from the beginning and is now being reclaimed within the Evangelical world and within the wide stream of Christianity. This course is designed to provide the students with an introduction to contemplative prayer. Knowledge, practice, and reflection on practice will be integrated. SPIR 690 Leading Spiritual Formation Ministries (3 credits) In this course, students will gain experience and knowledge in designing, leading and evaluating spiritual formation ministries. Particular attention will be given to the context of each student s anticipated ministry context. Prerequisites: CSF 500 and a total of at least 24 credits either completed or in progress. Co-requisite: CSF 610. THEO 503 World Religions (3 credits) Knowledge of the major religions of the world is critical not only to understand global affairs but also numerous local issues. Many regions of Canada have become 46 Carey Theological College

distinctly multicultural and often this includes religious diversity. This course provides a basic understanding of Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and Taoism. This course also evaluates their impact on both Canadian Society and world affairs and develops a strategy for witnessing to the adherents of these non-christian religions. THEO 520 Doctrinal Heritage of the Church (3 credits) Effective Christian pastoral ministry demands that we live and minister theologically, that is, that we view life and ministry through the lens of Christian commitment. To do so requires a solid theological foundation consisting of an informed understanding of the core convictions that we share as Christians, from which we draw implications for living. This course surveys the central Christian doctrines as set forth in the biblical message and taught in the church throughout its history, and views them in the context of the contemporary world in which God calls us to live and minister. In so doing, the course seeks to help participants develop expertise as theologically informed Christian ministers who can connect stated beliefs with life and ministry. THEO 618 Theological Reflection (3 credits) Effective pastoral ministry requires that we minister theologically, that is, that we view ourselves, our vocational calling and those we serve through the lens of Christian commitment. Doing so, however, requires a solid theological foundation as well as an acute understanding of the manner in which life and ministry arise out of, or are informed by, core Christian convictions. This course explores both the manner in which Christian convictions arise and the way in which such convictions ought to affect the practice of ministry. Its primary goal is to assist you in developing expertise as a theologically oriented pastor or church leader who can come to solid theological conclusions and can draw from the resources of Christian conviction for the sake of God-honouring and effective ministry. Prerequisite: THEO 520. THEO 630 Christian Ethics (3 credits) In this course we seek to discern how to participate in the reality of God s redemption of creation through the crucified and risen Messiah so that we may live and bear witness to that work especially in the areas where our lives overlap with the lives of those who do not know and believe the good news of Jesus Christ.

DOCTOR OF MINISTRY DMCC 901 Research and Design Methodology for Ministry (3 credits) This is a required course designed to assist the student in theological reflection and academic thought. Particular attention is paid to the nature of research and various patterns of research procedures. An introduction will be given to the methodologies (qualitative, narrative, critical, and some empirical) which might be utilized during the congregational engagement and the candidacy phase of the program. Prerequisite: DMCO 992. DMCE 996 Congregational Engagement (3 credits) The congregational engagement is a guided study which assists the student to apply learning components to the practical ministry setting. The local congregation along with the student and the Faculty Supervisor will determine how the congregation will participate in the learning module which will be locally based. This will be an actionbased research study component through which students organize and reflect on their respective application in the church. DMCM 921 Guided Study A guided study is contracted with a member of the faculty who is willing to supervise the proposed course of study. DMCO 991/992 Reflecting Theologically in Ministry (3 credits) These courses are designed so that participants are able to reflect on the actual ministry in which each is engaged. The integration of theology and ministry forms the basis for discussion. Participants sharpen their focus on their specific ministry concerns through interacting with the instructor and the peer group. Ministry experience reports will be presented by each participant. Prerequisite: DMCO 991 is a prerequisite for DMCO 992. DMOS 900 Doctoral Orientation Seminar (1 credit) This orientation to the Doctor of Ministry program gives an overview of its goals, learning theory, critical pedagogy and the demands on personal time, discipline and motivation for the program. It also includes an orientation to the John Allison Library. DMPM 922 Leadership Theory, Theology & Practice (3 credits) Churches aspire to the highest ideals in the service of God, and yet are composed of ordinary human beings. Leadership in this context can be fulfilling, frustrating, compelling, confusing, excruciating, and redemptive. This course explores the complexities that confront congregational leaders using the lenses of contemporary leadership theory, key texts of Scripture, and case studies. Reading, lectures and class discussion provide conceptual tools for diagnosing and addressing leadership challenges in the church, and the means to evaluate the growing literature on the subject of leadership. Students will gain insight into the dynamics of organizational culture, the use and misuse of power, models of pastoral leadership, and the liberating nature of servant-leadership in the way of Jesus. 48 Carey Theological College

DMPS 900 Doctoral Project Seminar (3 credits) This is a required course designed to assist the participant through the project design phase of the Doctor of Ministry program. Completing an approved proposal is one of the final steps that moves a participant to Doctor of Ministry Candidacy status and allows the participant to proceed with the implementation and completion of their project.
