The topic of biological evolution and how it relates to the theology-science discussion is probably one of the most important dialogues as it impacts the broad culture and society through political, educational, and conceptual contexts.  The major goal of this course is to provide an educational framework that will promote accurate and informed discussion in the theology-science arena. 

Courses intended to meet spirituality requirements for master's programs are intended to 1) promote experience with a range of spiritual habits and disciplines; 2) invite students to explore and deepen their own spiritual practices;3) engage students in some critical engagement with the theological "underpinnings" of the Christian spirituality and its practices; 4) encourage students to grapple with the connections between spiritual practice and engagement with the needs of the world; and 5) examine the impact of social contexts, cultures, and systems (such as gender, racial, sexual, and religious identity) on the practice of Christian spiritual traditions.
