Thus God is about his mission of reconciling people and the entire earth unto himself. \u00a0Faculty with expertise in a wide range of disciplines work together to equip missional Christians to participate in the mission of God through global health, environmental mission, humanitarian aid, missional geoscience, and sustainable agriculture.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>If you have any questions please feel free to email me.<\/h4>\n<h4><strong><em>Dean of the School of Ecological Mission<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nEmail:\u00a0 slatham@missional.university<br \/>\nPhone: \u00a0 803.618.1328 \u00a0ext. 600<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>Live:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/administration.missional.university\/course\/view.php?id=61\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Schedule Video Conference<\/a>\u00a0 (sign in as guest)<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-389-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-389-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-389-0-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 align=\"center\">SCHOOL OF ECOLOGICAL MISSION<br \/>\nADMINISTRATION<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"tnSpacer\" align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2235\" src=\"https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2020\/10\/slatham350.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2020\/10\/slatham350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2020\/10\/slatham350-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2020\/10\/slatham350-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2020\/10\/slatham350-270x270.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/div>\n<h5 align=\"center\"><\/h5>\n<h4 align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/sem-faculty\/dr-stephen-latham\/\"><strong>Dr. Stephen Latham<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n<p align=\"center\"><i><font color=\"#000000\">Dean, School of Ecological Mission<\/font><\/i><br \/>\n<font color=\"#000000\">Professor of Environmental Mission<br \/>\n<\/font><font color=\"#000000\">Socioecological Resilience Specialist<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"tnSpacer\" align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<h4 align=\"center\">INTRODUCING THE<br \/>\nSCHOOL OF ECOLOGICAL MISSION<\/h4>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF ECOLOGICAL MISSION The faculty of the School of Ecological Mission is committed to the concept that God is at work not only in the lives and affairs of people across the&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/about-us\/deans-message\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":1719,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/builder.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"url":"","client":"","location":"","start_date":"","end_date":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-389","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/389\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2236,"href":"https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/389\/revisions\/2236"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/missional.university\/ecologicalmission\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
