Community & Ethics in the City

This course will explore the importance and challenges of community in contemporary Christian ethics. It examines the relation between theo-ethical reflection and social location, including one’s own and students will clarify their stances through engaging a range of  perspectives. We will do close readings of selected texts, develop skills to discern and evaluate various proposals and approaches, and give special attention to implications for shaping ecclesiologies and ministries in a postmodern, globalized world.
