I will be teaching a new course in a couple of weeks at Life Pacific College (private Christian college) entitled, “Social Justice and the Ministry of Christ”. It is actually open for anyone to take (either for credit or non-credit).

Here is the course description:

This is an introductory course that provides students with foundational understanding of social justice including its theories, practices, and integration with Christian theology and ministry. Several topics related to social justice will be introduces including poverty, HIV/AIDS, human trafficking (modern-day slavery), and gender perceptions, child labor, clean water, war and peace, power and oppression, political activism, and fair trade. In addition to interactive presentations by the professor, practitioners from various non-profit organizations and agencies will facilitate guest lectureships, dialogues, and resources, and opportunities for student involvement.

This course will feature presenters from numerous organizations including International Justice Mission, Invisible Children, World Vision US, Water Wells for Africa, PATH (People Assisting the Homeless), JustOne, Stop the Traffik, OasisUSA, Opportunity International, Dream Center LA, and a few more…
