Abstract
This essay argues that inteffaith engagement is an invaluable form of Christian mission wherever Christian and other faith communities live together and share common social and geographical space. Actually, it is perhaps one ofthe most valuedforms ofChristian mission operable among dynamic multi-religious urban contexts in North America. The question that stands out is: “What would happen if the core DMin leadership course the practicum-was re-conceptualised to enable the student who is engaged in action-based research to benefit academically from the perspectives and insights of another religion or faith tradition?” My suggestion is that the andragogy that informs my teaching among MDiv theological students at the InterdenominationalTheological Center (ITC), as they are equipped for ministry in the dynamically religious contexts of urban USA; has applicability for DMin education. 2 This unique approach toward interfaith dialogue competency supports and offers current and future Christian leaders opportunities for engaging three religions: African, Jewish and Islamic*, and tlieir faith systems based on a more relational model of inteffaith engagement.
