Assignment:
Purpose: To give a place for an ongoing discussion about ministry in polarizing contemporary culture shifts.
Instructions: You read McCauley and Barr. As you have given these readings some time for consideration and as you think about ministry in light of contemporary culture, discuss where you begin the process of trying to think of the ministry as "new humanity" and how this can be explored in light of the unification of the church in a very polarized contemporary world that is looking for ways to restore what has been lost and to find hope in that restoration.
As a part of this assignment:
Give a review of the articles that you read, be sure to summarize them and connect it to other literature.
Answer this question:
- How does the work of Paul and his approach to ministry as new humanity help fulfill the needs of the contemporary culture where you are ministering now?
Be sure to include two other references other than the one that you read

- Galatians
- Philemon
