Abstract
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.
