Embodying Spirit of Beloved Community

Catalog description

Taught by SFTS. This course, Embodying the Spirit of Beloved Community, focuses on beloved community as God's dream for our service with and experience of one another. Our enacting and sustaining beloved community relies upon spiritual practices that shape our character, commitment, and skills. Contributing to the creative impulses of beloved community (i.e., hospitality, courage, truth-telling, love) involves more than what we do, it entails who we are becoming. Understanding how these spiritual practices of personal formation and community transformation are embodied will occur through readings, lectures, in-class exercises and student presentations. [15 max enrollment] SUMMER 2019: Class meets daily, 6/17/2019-6/21/2019, from 9:00am to 5:00pm at SFTS.
