Instructors and Course Descriptions for Fall 2005 3003 Christian Morality and Social Issues – Msgr. Brian Moore A study of the basic Christian beliefs about the origin, destiny and meaning of the person, the nature of Christian life as the fundamental commitment to follow Christ, and the moral principles that flow from this. Students will explore the importance of moral "self-determination" through free choices and will explore how appropriate moral choices are made within the Christian faith commitment. Contemporary moral issues will be studied and analyzed from a Christian perspective. 4881 World Religions – Msgr. Brian Moore In the World Religions course we will have an overview of the basic elements, historical development, and present situation of four of the great religions of the world: Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. We will spend one class day on each of these religions; the presentation will include visual material from a DVD as well as the usual lecture and slides. Through the course, the students should become familiar with the most basic beliefs and practices of each of the religions. 4881 Mysterious Mystagogia - Fr. Robert Schremmer Is it possible to take the mystery out of Mystagogia? The answer is no. Mystagogia is all about mystery. But is more like discerning which came first the chicken or the egg than it is concluding that it was Colonel Mustard, with a candlestick, in the library. It is a lot like knowing why someone loves you and how you show that you love them. Even more, it is about the mystery of faith we proclaim each Mass. What is Mystagogy and how one can be a mystagogue? Is it the last weary and confusing days of RCIA that are often shortened or even skipped? Is it some kind of special way of teaching some kind of special information? Is it a way of knowing and understanding that is uniquely available to those who are initiated through Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist? Is a mystagogue a teacher, a catechist, a sponsor, a detective, a magician? Mysterious Mystagogia provides a survey of answers, resources and approaches to these questions. Mysterious Mystagogia will provide a specific format for the final period of RCIA that has implications and uses throughout the RCIA process, as well as, throughout Parish Life particularly ministry with late adolescents and young adults. Mysterious Mystagogia will present specific and practical implications with stewardship, ministry, and vocation concerns. 4881 Plowing the Field: The Church and Rural Life – Fr. Wesley Schawe It would be difficult to live in Kansas without finding yourself in some way affected by or tied to the world of agriculture. Whether a lifelong farmer, a city-dweller, living in towns big or small, the changing face of rural life in the United States is something that should be of particular interest to us in the state of Kansas. This course will explore the rich social teaching of the Catholic Church and its potential to guide us as we consider such topics as family farms, shifts in agricultural production, social services in rural areas, biotechnology, and environmental issues. |
