RST 480 Faith In Action

3 credit hours

Individual or small communities of students custom design a contextual education course in which they learn the art of social action that is formed by a theological understanding. This course provides students with the opportunity to engage in the life and action of faith communities within their own cultural context, (e.g., Catholic Social Services in Adrian, Network in Washington D.C., Catholic Worker House in Chicago, Vess in Brownsville, Texas.) In addition to intensive reading preparation, the course focuses primarily on action and reflection (writing for critical social, theological analysis). This course must be contracted with a professor in Religious Studies and the Office of Cooperative Learning. Students must have at least Junior standing.
