This module will build on E11002 Integral Mission I and/or E11001 Continuing the Mission of Jesus. It will give students a developing and integrated process of experiential and reflective learning through lecture, seminar and visits to missional projects in and around Bristol. The module will give students an overview of the theology underpinning and practical outworking of models of global mission, urban mission; rural mission; evangelism; church planting; social justice issues; stewardship of creation; community engagement and peace-making.

On completion of the unit students should be able to:
The Unit will employ a mix of fieldwork, seminars and lectures.
The unit will consist of 20 contact hours in total. The unit will involve field visits and engagement with practitioners in addition to 10 hours of lecture-based learning. Contact hours are therefore significantly greater than for purely lecture-based units (normally 10 hours for a 10-credit unit at this level).
Formative assessment will be through preparation for classes and participation in class discussions and seminars.
Summative assessment will be through an essay of 2,500 words or by written examination of 2 hours. The choice of essay or examination is at the discretion of the Unit Director.
