RELP 391 - The Theory and Practice of Urban Ministry

Institution:

Washington Adventist University

Subject:

Description:

Explores the nature of the city from a global perspective, noting the history and development of cities, their relationship to the mission of God and the church. Will also explore ways in which the church has and may impact the cities. The city of Washington, D.C., will be used in case study, as it is an acceptable microcosm of the global urban reality and will give the student practical, hands-on experience in urban ministry in a variety of settings throughout the metroplex of Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. The student will be exposed to ministries with the hungry, the homeless, the battered, the addicted, and the alien, as well as to a variety of public and private agencies that deal with these issues. An integral part of the practicum will be a supervised urban immersion consisting of three days and two nights on the streets. (Spring Semester and Summer Session)
