Assignment 3: REPORT FOR YOUR CHURCH

Tips for completing assignment:

So you are just about there! This is a great moment to have reached. Your final task is to send in Assignment 3, much of which you have probably prepared already in earlier parts of the course.

Again, some brief tips to help you.

1: Follow instructions in points 1 to 5

That should all be pretty straightforward. We hope you will learn lots by seeing other offices and meeting other Administrators.

2: We want evidence that you have done some thinking

In points 6 and 7 you will see we have used the word 'reflect' again, as in Assignment 1. So your tutor will be looking to see how your thinking has been challenged or changed in some way.

3: Imagine you are writing a report for your church's PCC... ... or whatever decision-making body you have if not Anglican. The layout is crucial here with clear recommendations and reasons behind them. Try to give a number of clear areas where you are recommending change. You are seeking to convince a range of people that there is a better way of doing things, even if some of them may cost.

We say: "The reasons you give for each recommendation should clearly relate to at least a couple of key principles covered by the course including biblical as well as practical perspectives." And also that your tutor “will also want to see evidence that you have had both practical and theological issues in mind throughout the exercise."

Once you have submitted this assignment and the contents of your course folder you are there. Your tutor will get back to you with your grade as quickly as possible and then check out the final steps with you so that he or she can tell the college and they can send you your certificate.
