THEO 671 - Praxis & Social Change

3 Credits

This course prepares students for religious leadership in diverse public contexts. Students will develop theological categories for social engagement, resources for social analysis, strategies for pastoral communication and communal care, and models for effective social action on the part of religious communities. The course engages active learning pedagogies, including a multi-stage project devoted to social change in students’ contexts. While contemporary topics may vary from year to year, each year the course will explore the intersection among religion, race, and ethnicity.
