CNCD 971 - Theology and the Practice of Shalom

3 credits
This Doctor of Ministry intensive course focuses on the many nuances and facets of the inspiring Judeo-Christian-Muslim concept of Shalom/Salaam/Peace which can mean community well-being, health, harmony, wholeness, welfare, prosperity and peace as used by interpreters of Jeremiah 29: 7 in the Bible: Seek the shalom of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its shalom you will find your shalom. Together, we will develop a practical theology of asset-base community development through 1) an overview of the prophetic tradition in scripture; 2) reflecting on our own experience in community ministry, and 3) deep reading, discussion and applied learning of the topic.
