Practicing Faith
STH TF 703
OPTION 1:A1 Daw- we will be looking at how drama and poetry (and other works of imaginative faith) are created and how they communicate religious and cultural values. But this lens also serves as a mirror: especially in noting how dramatists (and their characters) and poets achieve or fall short of their intentions in articulating and embodying expressions of faith, we can develop practices of self-evaluation and self-discipline that help us to live more truly what we profess to believe. OPTION 2: B1: Hassinger- Integrating Spirituality and Leadership equips students with spiritual life practices and leadership theories for use in ministry and other organizations. OPTION 3: C1-Schlauch: Drawing on contributions from theology, psychology, and religious studies, the course examines some complexities and ambiguities of "faith" and "practicing faith" that are often unidentified and unaddressed, exploring how each person practices multiple faiths OPTION 4: D1- Hickman-Maynard: This course explores the nature of social justice and its place within the mission of the church.
