This course involves daily contact, through observation and conversation, with a ministry professional.  Students will "shadow" the minister to experience everyday life in a particular ministry setting.  As a group, and with the instructor's leadership, students will meet once each week to reflect on their experiences and learn from each other.  A final reflective paper will help students to incorporate their observations and experiences into their own growing sense of vocation.  Placements  for May 2004 included local churches, hospitals, and a Christian radio station.
