Putting our resources to work...

At North Hills Church, Randy has completed one of three school quarters of his ministry internship. What did his internship consist of, you might ask?

Well, it was a smattering of things, but the focus was putting the Biblical Global Justice resources to good use for an adult education class on Sunday mornings. We had two short series.

Here was what we covered with our adult crowd:

Session 1:
Week 1 -- Intro to Biblical Global Justice (explores how/where the theme of justice and righteousness threads its way through Scripture)
Week 2 -- The Hermeneutical Circle (a sort of grid through which we look at these issues, looking first at clarifying the situation that is (both sides of the story), then conceptualizing what ought to be, and approaching confrontational moves toward what should be)
Week 3 -- Human Trafficking
Week 4 -- The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, part 1 (hearing from the Palestinians and about settlements)
Week 5 -- The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, part 2 (hearing from the Israelis)



Session 2:
Week 1 -- Intro...
Week 2 -- Racism
Week 3 -- U.S. Healthcare, part 1 (not focused on the issue of being for or against a national healthcare system)
Week 4 -- U.S. Healthcare, part 2 
Week 5 -- Topic chosen by the class: The Occupy Movement
Week 6 -- Violence


We are always interested in other topics of interest. Share your ideas! :)
