Here's the info if you are interested in participating:

LS511: What’s Theology Got to Do with It?
Level: Empowerment
Core Seminar: LS511, $275
Project Option: LS511P, $75
Instructor: Tony Robinson
Dates: March 9 – April 5
Registration Deadline: February 27

Description: Using Tony’s book What's Theology Got To Do with It: Convictions, Vitality and the Church, this on-line seminar will engage participants in a conversation about re-funding the life of congregations on a theological basis. Tony defines theology not as an academic discipline primarily but as a "perspective on life" and "wisdom proper to the life of the believer." He suggests that core Christian convictions shape and inform a particular perspective, a way of seeing life and living it. Moreover, he claims that there is an integral relationship between congregational health and vitality and the capacity of a congregation, and its leadership, to articulate core Christian and theological convictions and bring them into dialogue with congregational life. His approach provides many examples and illustrations from congregational life.
