About this Course

What enables us to speak about, to understand, and to promote social justice and sustainable peace actively in a world of grave suffering and systemic oppression? This is a major ethical question for the contemporary world requiring careful thought. The goal of this course is to empower you to do ethical reflection and analysis regarding the challenge of social justice through an investigation of Christian theological thought as a resource that can help us approach this question. This section of this course will focus on resistance to systemic racism/white supremacy as a specific social justice concern. TE. PRM-DEPT.
