This Thursday, March 12, a meeting will be held at Brown Deer United
Methodist Church to discuss offering both a basic and advanced lay
speaker course. The meeting will be held from 6:15 to 6:45 pm in the
lounge area in the narthax of BDUMC. (The Lenten Service follows at 7
pm.)
This planning meeting's goal is to make the classes accessible,
pertinent and as convenient as possible to all lay speakers. All lay
speakers from BDUMC are invited. If other lay speakers in the area
are interested in helping plan, they are welcome to attend.

Saints and Disciples,
One format I'm going to suggest Thursday is a variation on the
Advanced Class "Lay Speakers Teach Adults" (see
http://www.layspeakingministries.org/CurriculumPage.html) in which we
would plan and deliver "Lay Speaking Ministries Basic Course" (New
edition!) restructured as a team taught multi-independent-module
Sunday School class.
Thoughts, opinions, criticism?
Any additional comments or suggestions will be carried to this first
planning meeting.
Your servant in Christ,
Rex+

Hi Rex,
I'm on vacation now and it is hard to be thinking of Lay Speaking ideas. I will tell you that I think we need to offer both internet alone and internet hybrid (internet and face-to-Face) opportunities. Susan Hodges and I may collaborate on something later this year.
Tom

Blessings, All,
Current conference LSM course policy requires a course be a minimum of
10 hours face to face. The policy does not differentiate between
intellectual formation (knowledge and skills) and corporate spiritual
formation (behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs in relationship, i.e.
esprit de corps). On an exception basis, I have accepted courses such
as a 3 credit, 200-level college course on public speaking, plus a
significant unrelated spiritual formation, such as a retreat weekend
or convocation, as satisfying the combined requirement. I will be
proposing a change to the policy to support this approach in general.
In that context, online courses will play an increasing role. An early
opportunity to try using an online course would be as one of the five
modules in the Basic course, perhaps history. It would still need to
be supplemented with two hours of spiritual formation, though. I ran
into a GBOD online course yesterday (but, of course, can't find it
today).
As we consider online courses further, perhaps as a part of BDUMCs
Basic course, we should create a new discussion topic for online
course issues.
Keep up the good work.
