AGREEMENT FOR LEARNING WORKSHEETDiaconate Pastoral Internship Agreement • September 10th, 2015
The Internship experience is a vital step in helping the Deacon to form a bridge between Seminary and parish life. A Deacon who begins a full-time Pastoral Internship enters into an intensified dialectical experience between his significant accumulated theological knowledge and the significant immersion into sustained Pastoral praxis. In other words the supervised Internship experience can help him to contextualize his knowledge and apply his Pastoral abilities in an integrated practice of parish-based ministry. The Internship experience provides an opportunity for the Deacon to move from being a learner under the guidance and authority of a minister toward becoming the minister. Under a mentoring Supervisor, the Intern gains insight into ways of integrating knowledge, skills and personal conviction into the practice of ministry.
