SFRM 530A - Spirituality in Social Justice

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Spiritual Formation

Description:

"He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8) What does it mean to "walk humbly with God" as we "do justice and love mercy?" How do we discern our part in the struggle and not become overwhelmed by the magnitude of the societal issues that need to be addressed? How do we "ground" our spiritual journeys in ways that help us to act from a place of love and wholeness as we embody Christ to bring healing to a broken world? Using Scripture, as well as the works of ancient and contemporary writers, students in this course will explore the intersectionality of healthy spiritual formation and positive social action as they reflect on their own roles in the Church and in society.
