Description
This course will give students the skills to think and act as public theologians. It will require students to go into urban communities and listen to the stories of struggle and pain of those who live in urban neighborhoods, analyze the social and political institutions of oppression from the perspectives of the margins, ask new questions about the theological legitimations of injustice and violence and propose action plans for justice ministry. Students will also engage with local community organizing initiatives to discover the methods and content of the particular issues on which they are working. The students will together build a framework for public theology.
