Field Education HandbookBoston Cambridge Ministry in Higher Education at MIT
W11-011 Contact Person: Rev. John A. Wuestneck Project: BCMHE's chaplaincy at MIT represents the following denominations: United Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church (USA), the American Baptist Church, and the United Church of Christ. The ministry includes many students from these denominations, as well as students of other backgrounds. Sunday morning worship in the MIT Chapel is a primary gathering place for the Protestant Student Community. The community also meets for study, retreats, brunches, outings and community service projects. MIT is an international community, and faith development is important for many students. This, alongside the rigorous academic pressures, provides an opportunity to minister in a variety of ways. The students teach each other, both academically and spiritually. The ministry can help students learn which parts of their faith are cultural and which are religious. Both are important ways of determing how we are going to live together in the 21st century. Student Involvement: Twenty percent of the student's involvement will be to contact and organize a "religious life council" made up of representatives of all religious students groups on campus; with the goal of establishing an ongoing organizational relationship between the Dean of Students Office and this council. The student will also have the opportunity to use the remainder of her/his time with Sunday morning worship and a variety of other dimensions of campus ministry depending upon the student's interests and needs. Arts of Ministry Competencies: Preaching and Worship. Pastoral Care and Counseling. Administration and Program Development. Supervision: Weekly Supervisory sessions are required, and the student will be supervised by Chaplain John Wuestneck Number of Students: Total Stipend: $4,000.00 Type of Stipend: site reimburses (sc 4000) Notes: |
