The NALIP Basic Education curriculum is designed to
introduce clergy and lay professionals to the practice
of intentional interim ministry. Although focusing on
Lutheran theology and polity, the event is open to all
lay leaders and clergy desiring and/or called to this
special ministry in congregations during a pastoral
transition.
This course is designed in three phases (Planting,
Cultivating, and Harvesting) covering a period of about
six months. The first and third phases are in-residence,
beginning at noon on Monday and concluding at noon on
Friday with a total of at least 60 contact hours.
Phase I (Planting) is a residential week focusing
on the theory, theology, leadership skills and
congregational systems related to intentional interim
ministry. We examine the interim journey through
scenarios (propositional learning) including the
dynamics of entry, pre-entry, stages and tasks of the
congregation, emotional systems, conflict, grief, power
structures, and leadership skills necessary to lead the
congregation, and exiting/closure issues.
Phase II (Cultivating) is a six month experience
in a parish or institutional setting, ideally in a
leadership transition, in which the participant in this
program "puts into practice" the material
learned in Phase I. During this time, you will learn
contracting (covenanting), work on personal learning
goals, and write two critical incident reports, all
under the supervisor of your chosen fieldwork
supervisor.
Phase III (Harvesting) is the second residential
week in which through a group process you will share one
of your critical incident reports, review material
learned in Phase I, and learn more about the dynamics of
congregations in pastoral transition, and your
leadership skills and needs. You will also discuss the
biblical and theological connections in this special
ministry as specifically related to the Lutheran
church.
Note: Participants are responsible for securing a
situation in which to complete Phase II fieldwork
requirements. While most participants in the program
will have a ministry site, some may not. NALIP program
faculty will help you define options available for your
fieldwork.
All participants who satisfactorily complete the
assigned work in this educational opportunity will
receive a "Certificate of Completion."
Participants are cautioned that completion of the
program is not to be construed as
"certification" or "accreditation"
as an intentional interim pastor. You are advised to
speak with your district president or synod bishop about
placement and further recognition.
