Wycliffe College is a historic, evangelical seminary and a founding member of the Toronto School of Theology (TST). It is situated on the downtown campus of the University of Toronto (UofT), in the heart of one of the world’s most multicultural cities.
For over 140 years, the College has equipped people called by God to live out Jesus-centred lives in the Church, the Academy, and on mission, here in Canada and around the world.
This three-hour pass/fail course introduces students to the basics of what it means to have healthy self-awareness and is designed to lay the foundation for effective and ethical pastoral care practices. The primary focus is to encourage students to recognize and enjoy their gifts and strengths without ignoring the limits of those good things. It is also about seeing and accepting ownership of the sometimes laudable, sometimes questionable motivations and needs that shape our perceptions and guide our behavior. The overarching goal of this course is for each student to gain accurate self-understanding and an appreciation of the ways in which he or she is predisposed to bring him or herself as a person to interactions that require sensitivity and skill.
