Abstract
The intention of this paper, through a literature based reflective methodology, is to consider the role and implications of shame within the Christian community of a theological college, and suggest mitigating factors that could support the development of a mutually accountable community that would facilitate discipleship growth. Within Regents Theological College in the UK, the aim is to educate students – the majority of whom are 18–30 years old – to go on to serve Jesus in a variety of roles both inside and outside the Church. Our aspiration then, is not just to teach theological and practical skills, but also to raise up disciples of Jesus, willing to serve Him with their heads, hands and hearts. The outcomes suggested by this paper have implications not only for seminary environments, but also for churches and youth groups.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Youth and Theology is an international peer-reviewed academic journal developed and originally published by the IASYM, the International Association for the Study of Youth Ministry, now published by Brill. The journal aims at furthering the academic study and research of youth and youth ministry, and the formal teaching and training of youth ministry. The academic efforts are rooted in the Christian theological tradition and ecumenical. The scope of the journal is to serve scholarship in the broad field of children, youth, faith, church, theology and culture. Research articles in the journal mainly have theology (both practical, systematic and biblical theology) as a core discipline. At the same time, contributions are often interdisciplinary, which implies theological reflection combined with e.g. pedagogical, sociological or psychological perspectives.
