Adjudication Practicum -
Online
Foundations of Christian Adjudication
Adjudicate disputes
Satisfies requirements for Christian Reconciler - Advanced Certificate!
At a Glance
When parties are unable to agree on a solution to the material issues in their dispute, they may submit their issues to be decided by an adjudicator. Unlike mediation, adjudicators serve as judges, making decisions on behalf of the parties. Christian adjudicators not only consider civil laws and rules, but also how the Scriptures apply in rendering their decisions. Christian adjudication helps keep disputes between Christians out of the public courts.
When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertain to this life?
1 Corinthians 6:1-3

Technology Requirements
We understand, this isn't for everyone
The successful student in this course will be familiar with these online technologies. Throughout the course we will switch between these various modes of presentation and connection. Your proficiency with these will be valuable to your learning experience. You are encouraged to try out each below. The backbone of them all is your internet connection. You can check your internet speed here.
The other requirement for a successful online learning experience is a sufficiently fast tablet or laptop because it will be processing a lot of video data. If you're not sure about your setup, please call us and we can help you test it out! If you can easily watch Youtube and other video streams, then you're probably okay.
Lecture & Demonstration
During plenary portions of the class, we will be connected via Zoom. There, you will be able to see and hear the instructor, as well as view the presentation slides. You can listen with your computer or through a phone call. You can raise your hand to ask questions and participate in plenary debrief discussions. You will view the coaching demonstrations through this platform as well. You may test your Zoom connection here.
Role Play Practice
The role play experience is one thing that sets this training apart. We will utilize Coach's Corner, AoR's video chat room customized for reconcilers. This facilitates your working with another student and allows the instructor to observe and offer feedback. It requires a camera, mic and speakers on your computer. Check it out here. Be sure to try the video connection to ensure your mic and camera are connecting.
Small Group Discussion
Small group discussions are vital for learning from one another. We will routinely give you opportunity to interact with your cohort peers in small "breakout rooms" for these discussions. It requires a camera, mic and speakers on your computer.
Connect w/Students
To facilitate discussion among students, you will be able to message one another through the webinar platform while class is in session and you can also message one another outside of class through online discussion forums the Text/Chat feature of our website. You access this feature through almost any browser.
So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?
1 Corinthians 6:4-6
