Designed to introduce the student to the rapidly changing Canadian urban realities and provide a context for reflection on the impact of these realities on the larger Canadian culture. Critical theological thinking and reflection with respect to the urban cultural context of the Christian Church will be the core for the course. Topics include urban sociology, biblical theology of the city, community analysis, economics, and ministry within urban communities. This course will assist the student to reflect on how local and global forces will significantly impact how we live and how the Church will function in coming years and provide a context to help the student develop a missional theology of the city.
