Biblical Justice and Reconciliation

201 Level - 3 Credits

This course introduces students to the realities of injustices in Baltimore and other cities, while challenging our learning community to process the question, how does the LORD "require" (Micah 6:8) and invite us, individually and collectively (2 Corinthians 5:18-20), to integrate faith with approaches that address justice and reconciliation. Students learn from diverse community leaders who are practicing justice and reconciliation-based approaches in various professional fields. This course also equips students to cultivate contemplative practices that will sustain their efforts in tackling injustices, with the aim to not be overwhelmed by exhaustion, undermined by apathy, or paralyzed by cynicism.
