THEO674 Christian Spirit & Charity
This course explores the interrelationship between charity and Christian spiritualities. It will examine expressions of charity such as compassion, forgiveness, sacrifice and social action as developed in the scripture and in the writings of various Christian spiritual movements. Along with the life of charity lived in service of the poor as evidenced in the Vincentian tradition, other spiritualities may be presented which underscore the relationship of charity to justice, peace and the life of prayer.
