BALT 201 Biblical Justice and Reconciliation

This course confronts students with the realities of injustices in Baltimore and other U.S. cities, and challenges them to answer the question, based on Micah 6:8, how does the LORD require me to integrate my faith with approaches that address inequities through the lens of reconciliation. Students will learn from community leaders and ministers that are practicing justice and reconciliation-based approaches in various fields. A component of this course delves into equipping students to cultivate contemplative practices that will sustain their efforts in tackling injustices, so they are not overwhelmed by exhaustion or undermined by apathy.
