Competency Profiles as Basis for MA in Transformational Urban Leadership Course Design - By 
	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 9 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. There is 
	also a separate set of pre - MA  assessment competencies that have surfaced from these years of process.  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

	extend their skills into wider movement leadership among the urban poor.
	
	Existing workers with a number years experience and proven servant ability who are progressing from pastoral,

	Up to 1/3 of applicants may be drawn from among those intending to serve the urban poor from a diaconal or justice 
	role, and wanting to use business or professional training and experience to socially, politically, economically and 
	spiritually liberate the poor.
	Some will do this in church-based advocacy, community development or community organisation processes within 
	urban poor movements.
	 
	Some will do this through non-governmental organizations (e.g. World Vision, Oxfam, Tear Fund) or foundations, 
	multilateral development agencies (e.g., the United Nations, World Bank Group, OECD, WTO), refugee and 
	immigration services,

Summary for  Course =  TUL520 (56 competencies)
	Course Objectives:	This course is the foundational course introducing themes in the degree, utilising a story-telling  theological approach. 
	It develops the theme of the Kingdom of God as a basis for practical experiences in entering poor communities and 
	TUL530	Urban Poor Church 	developing holistic poor peoples' churches.  Utilising entrance and evangelism models from Jesus, Paul, Hiebert, 
	Leadership	Brewster, issues of incarnation, identification,  and womens' and family issues in incarnation are examined. 
	(Churchplanting)	Churchplanting models from Hesselgrave, Stefan, Grigg develop elements of proclamation, power evangelism, mass 
	evangelism, discipleship of the poor and lead to practical processes of cell group, small group, fellowship and 
	structured church development in theory and in practical work assignments. Issues of church-based development 
	among the poor are introduced, beginning with the development of deacons and elders  and patterns of leadership 
	training based on the role of the Holy Spirit and the five leadership giftings. These are related back to sociological 
	(Gerlach & Hine) and community organisation (Alinsky et al) models of leadership emergence.  The theology of the 
	Kingdom of God is related to practical aspects of pastoral issues in ministering among the urban poor: cooperative 
	economics, land rights, poverty, justice, oppression, suffering, cash flows, etc.

	Course Objectives:	This course is designed to prepare Christian leaders for social justice advocacy in the context of the global struggle 
	for human rights.  Drawing upon Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen’s “capabilities approach” to human rights, the 
	TUL655	Land Rights and Housing	course presents a Freirean model for social justice advocacy that recognizes the local, national and international 
	context of advocacy work and explores creative partnerships with other organizations and community groups on 
	particular advocacy issues.
	  
	Candidates will grapple with four major critical global or citywide issues causing urban poverty in the 21st Century 
	from a theological perspective. (e.g. transnational capitalism; urban environmental degradation; war, terrorism and 
	peace, global poverty, and slavery).
	                                                                                                                                Candidates undertaking 
	this course will be able to develop a biblical approach to advocacy for land and entering into land rights conflicts, 
	being familiar with the processes of obtaining land rights documents and resolving land rights disputes within their 
	particular city, and understanding progressions that occur internaitonally in obtaining just housing.
	                                                                                                                                                  This course 
	will enable candidates to understand and assess the dynamics of various disaster situations, the protocols for
