Description

If  you have a vision for character and virtue education in your theological institution, but are not sure about how to involve your colleagues, then this course is for you.

A Vision of Virtue is the first of a series of ICETE Academy nanocourses drawn from the academic epistolary novel Character and Virtue in Theological Education (by Marvin Oxenham).  The aim of the course is to provide practical tools to spark and nourish a vision in your theological institution.  

After a short selection of readings from the textbook, you will share a brief motivational video with your colleagues that will hopefully initiate a new set of strategic conversations.
