| At least one member of the faculty will lead and participate in this seminar. In light of the programmatic value placed on the appreciation of others, students required to expose themselves to and reflect upon social and economic otherness. (e.g., poverty, wealth); national and cultural otherness (e.g., another country with a primary language different from one’s own); racial and ethnic otherness (e.g., situations where Euro-American culture is not dominant); ideological otherness (e.g., different theological and political convictions); and ecclesiastical otherness (e.g., different pieties, liturgies, polities, mission emphases). Such experience and reflection are to include what such otherness means for oneself personally and vocationally, and also for the church, its nature, vocation, and ministry. |
