Competency Profiles as Basis for MA in Transformational Urban Leadership Course Design By Course
	This is a summary of inputs from the WEA Missions Commission Cross-cultural profiling process, the Encarnacao Brasil and Bangkok gatherings,
	 NCIBC, and ten grassroots training conferences.  It includes comprehensive cross-cultural, and churchplanter outcomes, but movement leadership
	 and specialist ministry outcomes need more refining. Ongoing profiling discussions will add or delete some of these. The next step is to compare 
	the proposed courses with these and see what is missing, then to redefine these with appropriate language for level 7 and 8 outcomes e.g. 
	experience "living in a slum community" needs to be redefined as something like, "critically evaluate an experienceof living in a slum 
	community".  The step after that is to ask which of the outcomes for each course should actually be evaluated and how, as we can rarely evaluate 
	everything.  These were largely derived by looking at the goals of the program in terms of progressions from evangelist, pasttor, teacher, comm 
	development worker into apostolic and broad scale crosscultural movement leadership roles, but I have laid them out according to proposed 
	course as at this point that helps show the deficiencies of both this process and the courses proposed
