In conversation with the Faculty Mentor(s), Faculty Consultant, and peer colleagues in the Focus Group Sessions you will examine possible pericopes which may be studied in order to create a biblical foundation for your DMin project. After these discussions you will choose, with the approval of the Faculty Mentor(s), one passage. The scripture passage chosen is to be related to the project theme and be comprised of a single portion of scripture (one story or teaching which is generally a few verses, not a chapter). Once this passage has been chosen and approved, any changes will require approval by the Faculty Mentor(s).
