Power, Inequality, and Reconciliation

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the theology, psychology, and practices of reconciliation. By examining the nonconscious forces (both individual and social/structural) that perpetuate inequality between cultural groups, this course addresses the ways in which power discrepancies impede reconciliation. This course equips students to assess their own passive and active contributions to discord, evaluate the individual and social/structural factors that impede reconciliation in their own ministry context, and develop a theological and practical strategy to begin to dismantle these factors
