Leading Lives That Matter

Catalog description

This course will help students to understand the purpose of work and a Christian understanding of vocation. Students will develop the capacity to practice critical reflection on experience to gain a better understanding of their unique identity and purpose in their vocation. Consideration will be given to (1) understandings of vocation in various historical, cultural, and religious contexts, (2) theological and ethical perspectives on work and calling, and (3) the changing character of vocation over the lifespan of individuals. They will also refine their personal understanding of what their calling or vocation might be and how it fits into God's purposes and a Christian worldview. IFP
