Offered At ITC This Spring

The Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC) is offering a TheoEcology course for the spring 2008 semester. The purpose of the course is to challenge students to read the literature of both fields and then produce proactive responses to the two equally important but separate fields of Environmental Justice and Environmental Theology.
Students will have the opportunity to use the Environmental Justice practice to promote justice for the poor - particularly those in the African American community. Then they will partner that information with the Environmental Theology component of being a good steward of the Earth in the African American church. Finally, the students will challenge themselves to make the two practices work together.
