HAMILTON & LONDON, ONT. – The Diocese of Niagara has partnered with Huron University College to create new opportunities for clergy education and leadership development.
In an agreement between the Niagara School for Missional Leadership (NSML) and Huron’s Licentiate in Theology program (LTh), students from Huron can take NSML courses for credit toward the LTh diploma, and potentially transfer credits to a Master of Divinity or Master of Theology program. Students from the NSML will also have the option to expand their learning by exploring the LTh course calendar.
The two institutions embrace similar missions and methods, prioritizing leaders from different parish contexts by developing missional courses that encourage contextual reflection and practice. Over the last three years, the NSML has lived into its mission to effectively train leaders to respond to the needs of God’s world by being a gospel-focus learning community. Likewise, Huron’s mission is to engage the world and create “leaders with heart.”
“I am so excited for the learning opportunities created through this new partnership,” said Bishop Susan Bell of the Diocese of Niagara. “It will be a real benefit to those seeking to learn more about our faith and what missional leadership is all about.”
