This course focuses on an asset-based approach to Christian theology and will explore theological and theoretical models for Christian theology that identify covenantal collapse and the loss of relationship within three critical spheres as an alternative to the generally articulated moral and legal breech models.
In order to foster deeper relationship, mire effective academic engagement, and an overall greater involvement within the NAIITS community, students are required to attend two symposia and are required to participate in the concurrent seminar.
The focus of the course is to introduce the student to the ways in which Indigenous people participate as followers of Jesus in a manner that is authentic to their own cultural understandings, seeking to encourage spiritual growth and development from within such an Indigenous framework.
This course will help students develop an integrated understanding of God, humanity and culture focusing on current debates and their bearing on Christian mission and community.
Trajectories in the study of anthropology have been helpful and hurtful, particularly to Indigenous people globally. In this course, participants will explore a variety of historical anthropological theories.
The course is an introduction to asset-based planning and design as a human and organizational capacity- building approach.
Asset-based Community Development (ABCD) seeks to locate, underscore, and emphasize, in a selective way, the life-giving forces and successes within an organization, group, or community.
