REL 480
Date: January 4-13, 2008 Faculty: Bev Stratton, Professor of Religion Location: El Salvador
Application deadline: Oct 1, 2007
What’s the right profession for me? How can I make good choices in my daily
life? What are realities in the world today? How can communities collaborate to
bring social change in response to challenges like poverty and political
oppression? In this course, we’ll hear the stories of Salvadoran people, explore
Christian faith, and reflect on the ways our beliefs affect our vocations and
daily lives.
This course fulfills the Augsburg Experience or Keystone course. It also
fulfills an elective for the Religion major or minor. For those students who
entered before 2003, it fulfills the Intercultural Awareness (IA1) or Christian
Faith perspective (CF1, CF2, or CF3) requirement.
