This is a short unit that offers the opportunity for students to integrate what they have learned from the four longer units. It is a practicum that deals with the tasks involved in preparing for worship and the skills that contribute to effective presiding at worship. The nature of the particular celebration to be focussed on will be determined in discussion between each student and the lecturer.
