MATUL REPORT Manila, Philippines MATUL Commission - 2015

DESCRIPTION MATUL REPORT 2015 manila, philippines Our discussions evolve around the following questions: What is our vision for transformation? What kind of graduates do we want to produce and how are we going to do that? What will be our educational philosophy, approach and kind of curriculum we need? What extra steps are we going to take to put that into action? What kind of Christians are we shaping? Some are looking for a sense of community. We are envisioning to develop the ATS-CCS (Center for Continuing Studies) model type for CTUL -- offering church-based grassroots modular courses, on a certificate level of TUL. This means bringing the seminary into the communities. DESCRIPTION

OBJECTIVES MATUL REPORT 2015 manila, philippines Have a very powerful and rooted vision of urban transformation See the church as God's Name is manifested. The development of relationships, showing reconciliation through the cross. Living with the quality of life that is sustainable. To see the church as God’s agent, we don't need to do social justice but the church itself is the social justice. We are acknowledging the brokenness in the city and seeing God at work there bringing Shalom. (not a modernizing technological way of transformation but very holistic and integrated) We want to learn form other schools in different contexts and cultures about the different applications of transformational leadership principles OBJECTIVES
