5) Graduate Diploma in Intercultural Studies
This is a one-year programme designed for those who see themselves in ministry or work in a cross-cultural context. Note: The GDIS is accepted by mission agencies such as OMF.
6) Sabbatical Studies Programme
This is a post-seminary and post-field course designed for those wishing to review, reflect and refresh through course attendance, writing or guided personal reflection or self-study. The duration could be one or two semesters, or a period of six to nine months at DTC.
Listed below are four suggested categories for reflection, research, and writing. On the completion of a paper or a project a Certificate of Sabbatical Studies may be awarded.
- Category One: On Personal Growth
Reflection and research through guided reading and/or field interviews on any issue or issues related to self-care in the field and/or post-field, including Spiritual Disciplines. This may be useful to cross-cultural workers needing a restful pause from active ministry or ministry workers contemplating a ‘career’ change wanting some spiritual refreshment.
- Category Two: On Ministry Growth
Ministry development and leadership issues and theories could be researched and reflected upon, including organizational theories and structures of mission agencies and denominational churches. This may be useful to those in role or positional transition within the same organization or from parachurch agency to denominational church.
- Category Three: Writing Projects
Those who are able to take a writing sabbatical to concentrate on a writing project and want the support of a community environment for fellowship and interaction.
- Category Four: Refreshment & Renewal
Those who need some time away from active ministry to have extended time for prayer, reflection and rest, and still be able to benefit from the fellowship of community life at DTC.
