Semester
Religious Education and Youth Ministry

This course proposes theological, spiritual and pedagogical foundations for faith-based education, ministry and service. The course invites participants to develop their own theory and praxis of educating in faith, and to intentionally harness the faith formation potential of all functions of ministry and faith-based service. There is particular emphasis on religious education for a liberating faith that promotes the social values of God's reign - compassion and justice for all.

BTI Category
Semester
Religious Education and Youth Ministry
FA25
This course aims to explore elements critical to the effective practice of ministry for and with youth and young adults. Considering the broad demographics herein, this class attends to fostering the skills of discernment and mentoring, which would be valuable across the spectrum of these varied constituencies and contexts. Together the class explores the contexts of the ministry (ecclesial and social), identifies a vision for the work, and considers how that vision might assist in discerning God's action in and direction for work with youth and young adults.

Jesuits, the Arts, and Education
BTI Category
Semester
Religious Education and Youth Ministry
FA25
This course aims to prepare any future church minister or religious educator who wants to explore how the Ignatian charism refracted through the arts might animate and strengthen efforts in spirituality, education, and evangelization. Each class will be divided into two distinct though related units: The first part examines historical cases where the arts played a distinctive role in Jesuit schools and missions. The second part reimagines and explores how those models might be translated into contemporary ministerial and educational contexts, with particular sensitivity to how the arts might ground, nourish, and animate a �faith that does justice.�
