Narrative theories of care will provide the basis for the assumptions and skill development of the course. Role plays, class discussions and short practical theology papers will provide opportunity to assess a student's self ability to think theologically about pastoral care situations.

Arabic is both the native language of more than 300 million speakers and the language of the Qur'an, the scripture of the Islamic faith tradition. This course is an introduction to modern standard Arabic, the primarily written form of the language today, which is also spoken on formal occasions, in the media and elsewhere. Students will acquire basic vocabulary and grammar, learning how to read, write and understand simple sentences. Special attention will be paid to the pronunciation of consonants and vowels, in keeping with the standards of tajwid, the art of Qur'an recitation. No prior knowledge of Arabic is expected or required.

This course is in response to the words of Pope Francis: 'Saint Ignatius says that anyone accompanying a pilgrim must walk at the same pace as the pilgrim, not ahead and not lagging behind. And this is what I mean: a Church that accompanies the journey, that knows how to walk as people walk today.' In our mass mediated world to know how to 'to walk as people walk today' includes having an Informed and critical understanding of the nature, the techniques, and the impact of the mass media especially on the platforms of Television. Film, and Social Media. This course will offer you ways to serve as interpreter and trusted guide concerning the media for the people of God as you walk with them in whatever ministry you are called to whether you are a minister, a priest, a religious, or a lay person.
