Application Questions

Here's a sneak preview of the questions you will need to answer in your application to Ask and Imagine. You can access the application form at the Download Forms section.

1. This learning experience will give you skills in leadership, ministry and a broader understanding of theology. Briefly describe how and where you want to apply these skills in your own life, church, school, diocese, region or local community. (you may already be doing this, or it may be a new venture)
2. In two or three sentences, describe what "ministry" means to you.
3. Tell us about any experiences you have had of doing ministry and leadership (within or outside the church).
4. What have these experiences taught you about yourself?
5. What excites you about participating in Ask and Imagine? (What do you hope to learn, or what skills do you want to develop?)
6. How do you want to grow through Ask and Imagine? (What will be the challenges for you in this program?)
7. Describe yourself from the outside in; that is, tell how others might describe you. Then describe yourself from the inside out; that is, tell what you consider to be important about yourself that others might miss (eg, qualities, characteristics, faith, feelings, convictions, spiritual experiences).
8. If you have never been to Ask & Imagine before:
   In one sentence, tell us why YOU should be selected for Ask and Imagine. (this is not a trick question, we just want to know the main thing that motivates you to apply!) or
   If you have been to Ask & Imagine before and are applying for the Pilgrimage Program: 
   Describe how you have applied something you learned at A & I in your life, and what will, for you, be the new challenges and learning goals for yourself at the Pilgrimage.
