THEOLOGICAL REFLECTION IN HEALTH CARE CONTEXTS
(IPS 409-001)
Water Tower Campus, Maguire Hall, room 330  (The entrance to Maguire Hall is on the south side of Pearson next to State Street.  The address is 1 East Pearson.)
Class # 3600
Instructor:  Patricia O’Connell Killen
4 day intensive:  Friday and Saturday, 9:00a.m. – 5:00p.m., June 19 – 20 and July 10 -11
Term: C
     Health care ministers are called to be conduits of God's love in the lives of human beings who are immersed in the mystery of living and dying.  Remaining fully present to brothers and sisters who are suffering can be draining, even as interactions with them can be moments of profound grace for ministers.  In this course health care ministers will experience how the practice of theological reflection can help them to remain grounded in the richness of their faith tradition and so help them sustain their energy for ministry.   Health care ministers also will learn strategies for  reflection that can help them expand their range of options for assisting those with whom they work to articulate more fully the meaning of their healing, suffering, or dying.

CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE AND ITS HISTORY: Grace, Christ and the Spirit
(IPS 531-001)
Online
Class # 3616
Instructors:  Robert Ludwig and Heidi Russell
May 18 – August 7, 2009
REGULAR ON-LINE PARTICIPATION: It is very important that students work with the course in a regular and consistent manner by spending several hours on-line each week, viewing videotapes and PowerPoint lectures, listening to pod casts, posting written assignments, responding to others’ postings, and participating in our “live” on-line discussions every Tuesday evening, 7:00-8:30 PM Central Daylight Time beginning May 19, 2009.  Not participating in the course on a regular basis will create serious problems for students wanting to complete the course successfully.  If you need to absent yourself due serious illness or other very important reasons, you need to call the instructor’s voice-mail (312/915-7467 for Robert Ludwig and 414/412-5276 for Heidi Russell) to explain your situation.
     Today many Christians have little or no understanding of how the New Testament experience became translated into Christian doctrine; many have little or no insight into how Christian theology today understands the dynamics of sin and grace, the notion of salvation, the role of Jesus Christ as understood by Christian faith.  This course is an overview of fundamental Christian theology--from the New Testament, to Augustine, to Aquinas, to Karl Rahner--focused on the core doctrines of grace, Christ, and Trinity.  Students will pursue an understanding of the experiential foundations of core Christian doctrine and see the evolution of interpretation from early centuries to the present.  Much of the course will explore contemporary, pastoral understandings of Christian doctrine.  We will move between experience and doctrine and back to experience, helping students gain insight into both as they come to understand the dynamic process that leads from experience to doctrine-and, in theology, back again to experience and to ministry.  What theologians refer to as "soteriology"--theology of salvation--is the heart of this course, which will involve significant reading and writing assignments as well as in-class discussions.  This is a basic theology course for anyone involved in Christian ministry.

INTRODUCTION TO THEOLOGY AND MINISTRY
(IPS 570-001)
Water Tower Campus, School of Communication, Lower Level room 010
Class # 2692
Instructor:  Matthew Schwartz
6 weeks, Tuesday and Thursday nights, 6:00p.m. – 9:00p.m., on:
June 16 + 18, June 23 + 25, June 30 + July 2, July 7 + 9, July 14 + 16, July 21 + 23, 2009
Term:  A
     An introduction for ministry students, this course sets the tone for the interplay between tradition and ministry, theology and practice. Students focus on method and skills, learning to think critically about the tradition and relate it effectively to ministry contexts today. The course has three parts: 1) What is theology? 2) Exploring theological method, including the Art of Theological Reflection, and 3) Theology of ministry. Students reflect on the importance of critical theory for theology and examine various theological methods, each emphasizing the interplay between experience and tradition. The major theological shifts introduced by the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) lead into the course focus on ministry. How do we understand the task of ministry today? Connecting our own charisms with the needs of the faith community in service to the reign of God, ministry is both universal (a mandate given in baptism to all the baptized) and skilled profession. The course concludes with a section on theological reflection and practical theology-how do we think on our feet as pastoral theologians and ministry professionals, relating the tradition to our own experience and to our ministry contexts?

THE LITERATURE OF ANCIENT ISRAEL
(417-002)
Online
Class # 3603
Instructor:  Richard Ascough
Term:  A     (May 18 – June 29)
     This course is an introduction to the Old Testament, the sacred literature of both Christians and Jews. We will examine texts from the Pentateuch, the historical and the prophetic books, and the wisdom books.that contain the record of Israel’s relation with its God, a record that for Christians forms the prelude to the Christ event. In order to reconstruct the meaning of Old Testament texts for their original audiences, we will employ the methods of modern critical biblical scholarship. The aim of our efforts to recover the ancient cultural, religious, and literary contexts of the Old Testament is the authentic appropriation of this literature in our present-day contexts of pastoral ministry and personal spiritual growth.

Weekend, Friday, June 26, 3:00p.m. – 6:00p.m. and Saturday, June 27, 9:00a.m. – 5:00p.m.
Mahatma Gandhi said the Sermon on the Mount (Mt. 5-7) held the world’s greatest teachings on creative nonviolence, and so he reread some of it every day for 45 years. This weekend, John Dear will lead us through the text of the Sermon on the Mount, to study, ponder and reflect on Jesus’ main teachings about love, peace, nonviolence and compassion. We’ll study the Beatitudes, the six antitheses, leading up to the great command, “Love your enemies,” and the various commandments and parables that conclude the text.
2.  120 - REAWAKENING THE SACRED IN OUR HUMANITY, Diarmuid O’Murchu, MSC
Week I., June 28 – July 3, Monday through Thursday, 2:00p.m. – 4:30p.m.
As a human species we have largely forgotten our sacred story, in its cosmic, planetary and human grandeur. Deprived of the enlarged context of our evolutionary unfolding, we jettison our potential and sabotage our spiritual greatness. By reclaiming the enlarged context we begin to reawaken to the larger horizons where God is waiting to meet us afresh.
3.  220 - BEING CHURCH BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF INSTITUTIONAL THEOLOGY, , Michael Morwood
Week II., July 5 – 10, Monday through Thursday 2:00p.m. – 4:00p.m.

Week I.,  June 28 – July 3, Monday through Thursday, 2:00p.m. – 4:30p.m.
We are all born with our own unique and authentic creative potential. In this week-long course, we will explore and experiment with many artistic processes so that each individual will reconnect with their creativity. There will be time to journal about the creative and spiritual journey we each will travel. The course will be nurturing and non-judgmental. The focus will be on process not product.
2. 211 – POETRY AND SPIRITUAL LANDSCAPES, Kaye Ashe, OP
Week II., July 5 – 10, Monday through Thursday, 9:00a.m. – 11:00a.m.
This course is not about writing poetry, but about reading and appreciating it. Poetry and prayer arise from the same deep source within the human heart. Both give expression to joy, anguish, doubt, gratitude, wonder, and yearning. Both shed light on the mysteries of living and loving and on the ultimate mystery of God. We will consider ways of entering a poem and will allow poets, old and new, to illumine our minds, widen our imaginations, and nourish our souls.
3. 221 – COME AND PAINT, Mary Southard, CSJ
Week II, July 5 – 10, Monday through Thursday, 2:00p.m. – 4:30p.m.
Experience painting as a way of prayer and spiritual expression. Both novices and those who have painted before will benefit from this gentle environment that offers freedom to engage in the creative process without expectation, comparison or competition. Rediscovering ourselves as members of a Creative Universe, each painter is encouraged to listen deeply and to trust their own creative process, the wisdom, the treasures already within.

Week I, June 28 – July 3, Monday through Thursday, 2:00p.m. – 4:30p.m.
Discover “focusing,” the unique body process of meaning and change developed by Eugene Gendlin. Explore how focusing can impact your prayer and your relationship with God. Learn “focusing” as a skill you can use on your own. Use “focusing” as a way to experience God.
2. 240 – LITTLE THINGS THAT FILL THE WORLD: GOSPEL METAPHORS OF SPIRITUAL AWAKENING, James Finley
Weekend, Friday, July 10, 3:00p.m. – 6:00p.m. and Saturday, July 11,  9:00a.m. – 5:00p.m.
Many of us today are looking for ways to deepen our experience of God’s presence in our lives. In this silent retreat we will accept Jesus’ invitation to find God’s presence in the little things of everyday life. Time will be given for group meditation, personal reflection and discussion of the themes presented. The topics covered in the conferences include: Childlike acceptance; Listening; A pure heart; A reed shaken by the wind; Veronica’s veil; The empty tomb; The woman at the well.

Week III, July 12 – 17, Monday through Thursday, 2:00p.m. – 4:30p.m.
God is the fundamental passion that makes Christ attractive to the world. God is the hidden passion that makes us stake everything on love and future possibilities. Every question is a passionate experience driven by the ultimate questions of who
God is, why we are here and what is meaningful. Religion and Church are afterthoughts. A passion for God is another name for beauty.

1.  111 – FROM GRIEF TO HEALING, Amy Florian
Week I., June 28 – July 3, Monday through Thursday, 9:00a.m. – 11:00a.m.
In our death-denying society, we don’t learn necessary lessons about death, loss and grief. What are the best things to say at a wake? When should you expect the tears to stop? Come talk about grief — the sources, what it feels like, what is normal, and the usual patterns. Then move toward healing, learning practical steps you can use to support others or to help yourself move forward and become whole.
2.  212 –  HENRI NOUWEN: DYNAMICS OF SOUL COMPANIONING, Wil Hernandez
Week II., July 5 – 10, Monday through Thursday, 9:00a.m. – 11:00a.m.
Whether as a spiritual friend, guide, mentor, or director to many, Henri Nouwen companioned others on the journey with him with utmost sensitivity and careful discernment. This course tackles the integrated dynamics by which Nouwen employed soul care—ones that naturally flowed from his equally integrated, albeit “imperfect,” spirituality. Participants can benefit much by exploring Henri Nouwen and Soul Care: A Ministry of Integration.
3.  320 – HAUNTED BY GRACE: CELEBRATING THE WORKINGS OF GOD’S SPIRIT, Barbara Fiand, SNDdeN
Week III, July 12 – 17, Monday through Thursday, 2:00p.m. – 4:30p.m.
What can we today understand by grace and how it works in our lives? Who is the Spirit that Jesus promised to send? Are we perhaps asking for strength and power that is already ours and only waiting to be recognized and claimed? Together we will probe these questions and explore the meaning of God’s activity in our lives. Prerequisites for the course: fatigue with the same old same old and a longing to look at things with new eyes.

Instructor:  Stephen Krupa. S.J.
May 18 – August 7, 2009
Term:  A
     The foundational event in Christian spirituality (i.e., in the ‘lived experience of Christian faith’) is the Incarnation, God taking flesh in the person of Jesus Christ.  From this event Christian spirituality has evolved over time, with a variety of expressions, in response to specific social and cultural events and contexts.  This course will focus on the foundational event of life in Christ as Christians have lived it over the centuries and as they live it today in our world.   Topics include the life and message of Jesus Christ, discipleship in Christ, the ecclesial dimension of Christian spirituality, definitions of spirituality, the relationship of spirituality to theology and its place in the academy, the history of Christian spirituality, and spirituality and social justice. Specific attention will be paid to the variety of expressions and current concerns of Christian spirituality in the United States.  What do the present age and the cultural context of America ask of Christians today?

HIV/AIDS: Pastoral Issues and Strategies
(IPS 454-001)
Online
Class # 2720
Instructor:  Daniel Lunney
May 18 – August 7, 2009
Term:  A
     The HIV/AIDS pandemic has challenged us right to the very core of what it means to be church for the last 27 years.  This course will provide students with an opportunity to address the pastoral and ethical challenges inherent in responding to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.  The focus will be both domestic and global with emphasis on Catholic and other Christian perspectives. HIV/AIDS forces us to look at issues of stigma, poverty, racism, homophobia, sexuality, inequitable distribution of resources, power imbalances in relationships, grief, suffering, the nature of illness and death. This will be structured as a distance-learning course and will utilize videos, internet discussion and postings, excellent books and thought-provoking assignments to engage the students in applied theology.  Students will have the opportunity to utilize both pastoral and social justice analysis to discover responses to HIV/AIDS which are rooted in Scripture and Tradition.  Students will be encouraged to make connections between the course and their area of ministry. 
Objectives:
Upon completing the course, each student will:
·          have a working knowledge of the life cycle of HIV disease and its epidemiology so as to dispel myths and misconceptions held by many.
·          have a solid ethical and theological foundation for addressing the HIV/AIDS pandemic and to pastorally respond to our sisters and brothers living with HIV.
·          be able to discuss the interconnection between vulnerability to HIV infection and injustice
·          be be able to articulate a pastoral theology for responding to HIV/AIDS.

     Human beings are created to grow and mature into their full humanity. Every phase of life carries particular psychological and spiritual agendas with which the minister needs to be acquainted. While each person is unique, our developmental story from birth to death is also our universal human story with particular variations, sharpened around gender and cultural differences. We will explore these differences even as we seek to discover reliable markers for ministry to persons throughout the life cycle. The role of the minister in pastoral care and counseling situations with persons at different phases of life's journey will be our primary focus.

     An integral component of the Master's in Social Justice is the Internship.  Students apply for placement with an approved internship site in non-profit, governmental, or corporate locations.  While service is a component of the students' internship, the primary concern of the internship is the involvement of the student in the work of systematic change, social advocacy, and community organizing.  Students will be required to meet once a week in a peer group.  This is a two semester program beginning on May 1, 2007 in the summer session and continues in the fall semester (641 Social Justice Internship II).
