Timetable for Post-Graduate Certificate in Theology

This course explores the critical role of the inner life (oranga-ā-roto) of the leader in sustaining Christian leadership in Aotearoa, amid personal and organisational complexity. It addresses four key areas – spiritual integrity (ngākau pono), intimacy with God (whakapiri ki te Atua), emotional and moral resilience (manawaroa), and the formation of authentic discipleship (ākonga pono). Through critical engagement with Scripture, classical, cultural, and contemporary texts, personal reflection, embodied practice, and interdisciplinary perspectives students will generate a robust theology of the inner life that integrates both Pākehā and Māori understandings of spirituality, and cultivate a life deeply rooted in Christ, to sustain and enable Christlike stewardship (tuaritanga) of power in leadership that is both faithful and fruitful.
