Description
The church has a significant role in developing a holistic vision for a sustainable city as an outworking of the concept of shalom, a just peace. The course will evaluate the three components of sustainable community development: the three E's of economics, environment, and equity (or social justice). Participants will explore the course topic via readings, panel discussion and site visits. Students will have the option of developing a project or ministry proposal that explores a key issue such as energy policy, food production, environmental justice or pollution, and how these challenges relate to the central course themes. Central to the course is the question, "What does it mean to be a sustainable urban community?" FALL 2012: MEETS IN CHICAGO. MEETS OCTOBER 12-13, 19-20, 26-27 (FRIDAYS 1-9PM, SATURDAYS 9AM-5PM).
