| dc.description.abstract | A godly character is the foundation of spiritual
leadership. After all, leadership effectiveness is most
influenced by being not doing. It follows that the early
stages of leadership development should mostly deal with
spiritual formation and character development.
This project/study aims to provide a foundational
course in the preparation of spiritual Ieaders. In
particular, this project/study was undertaken to create a
course which wiII provide ministerial students at Central
Philippine Adventist College (CPAC) the foundation for
character development .
The project/study report comes in two parts, The
first section provides the biblical and theoretical
framework which serves as the foundation block for the
construction of the course. Here, two basic guestions are
answered: (1) What character traits do ministerial students
need to develop? and, (2) How is character developed?
The second section contains the course content and
suggests varied teaching methods. The course aims to
develop eight character "competencies" in the students,
namely: integrity, responsibility, humility, perseverance,
courage, fairness, positive attitude, and moral purity. It
also promotes the practice of five spiritual disciplines
which serve as avenues for character development. These
spiritual disciplines are discipline of prayer, discipline
of spiritual journal, discipline of meditation, discipline
of fasting, and dlscipline of study. | en_US |
