LF547 Vocational Holiness and Marketplace Spiritual Formation (3 Credits)
23 November–2 December 2016, Mondays to Fridays, 9.00 am-5.00 pm
(starts on Wednesday, 23 November 2016)
Committed Christians are often concerned about discovering God’s will for their lives in terms of what occupation to take up or who to marry. The deeper question will be to discern what is God’s calling – to be and become. Another concern is how they are to live and have their being in their workplace and marketplace. Central to this is how to maintain the vitality of their spiritual life and growth in the modern lifestyle that is extremely hectic and exhausting. This course will deal with Christian discernment or decision-making and the theology of God’s calling and vocation. It will examine Ignatian, Quaker, Puritan and Wesleyan approaches to discernment. The issue of hectic and busy lifestyles will be examined and approaches developed to nurture the spiritual life. The concepts of Missio Dei and Sabbath in their vocations will be developed.
Suitable for people who wants to know more about making important life choices, about Godly decision-making and God’s calling; about Christian discernment; about spiritual maintenance and growth in busy and stressful lifestyles.

Andrew Spurgeon’s latest book
“Twin Cultures Separated by Centuries: An Indian Reading of 1 Corinthians” is the latest book by EAST Resident Faculty, Dr Andrew Spurgeon. He works with the original Greek text to discern the commonalities of Corinthian and Indian cultures and applying the epistle’s principles to Indian Christians today. He presents Indian similarities to those in Corinth, moves on to biblical principles the Apostle Paul identifies for the Corinthian church–especially where culture was in conflict with biblical standards–and finally reapplies these principles to the context of life in modern India.
