Description
This course will help you to understand the concept of “Beloved Community” as a leadership and theological approach for impacting on the development of community. God’s vision of healthy relational community — the counter-cultural Beloved Community — will be our anchoring resolve as we engage in courageous and interactive learning. Please join us!
During this course we will focus on
- a particular people and how God dealt with the challenges of that particular community.
We will consider
- the Beloved Community in communion with the whole of Creation.
- the servant leadership of Jesus, how he formed Community and Communion, and what Jesus stood for and against to establish healthy community.
- the first communities formed by the apostles and the challenges they faced.
- the ideologies of empire, hierarchy, patriarchy and racism and the social divides of our everyday world, that diminish healthy beloved community.
- the challenges of local and global communities from whence our participants come.
- what skills, insights and wisdom are needed to build communities infused with ubuntu.
- the role of memory and forgiveness, justice and reconciliation, as we draw from our history, understand our present and take informed actions toward our personal and communal future.
- models of a ‘Beloved Community’ and our planning to make our beloved community a reality.
