New Courses on Urban Poor Movements
We are happy to offer a new area of focus in Urban Poor Movements here at WCIU!
The following courses are open for both our Masters in Development Studies (MADS) and for anyone else who would like to take a course as a non-degree student starting this Fall!
TUL 500 Biblical Theology in an Urban Context: This course builds a biblical theology overview that connects the motif of the Kingdom of God to issues of poverty, oppression, community development, and church growth in urban poor communities.
TUL 520 Urban Spirituality: This course expands theologies of the Holy Spirit and his work among the urban poor. It emphasizes care and nurturing of workers, practical application of the spiritual disciplines, and communicating between diverse understandings of the work of the Spirit.
TUL 560 Theology and Practice of Community Economics: This course relates biblical and theological perspectives to the theory and practice of community wealth building. Special emphasis is given to cooperatives, microenterprises, and entrepreneurship as a basis for asset building and ownership.
