常见问题

Global 发展 and 正义 is a degree that focuses on preparing students to respond with best practices to complex global issues in either local and/or international contexts. 为希望在非政府组织工作的学生准备的, 非营利组织, 以及其他基于信仰的组织, 经验和学术训练都是必不可少的. This degree program provides significant professional training from faculty who have experience and academic proficiency in their fields, as well as experiential opportunities like such as internships and field projects.

的re are very few academic programs that will prepare you to work across the nexus of 社区 development, 正义, 以及建设和平的工作. 这是我们的专长. 在这个过程中, we place a high emphasis upon professional excellence and the integration of a Christian worldview. We are also deeply passionate about mentoring and walking with our students through their degree programs. 教授不仅是活跃的学者, 在球场上, 完成任务, but they desire to see students prepared with both soft and hard skills which will facilitate opportunities for job placement and for high-quality results in whatever career path they choose.

正义是一个深刻的圣经概念. Biblical social 正义 requires an emphasis on the kingdom of God. 弥迦书6:8说:“他已经告诉你了 . . . what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do 正义, 去爱善良, 存谦卑的心与你的神同行?弥迦书6:8的重点主要是欧宝娱乐官网人际关系, and these relationships center around values established by God him自我 for his kingdom and people. 因此, biblical 正义 requires that the people of God are concerned for and partner with those who face significant in正义s and vulnerabilities, 寻求解决导致这些情况的根本问题. 正义 work often includes seeking to right the wrongs that are committed against those whom God deeply loves and to restore life to what God intends for people and society. For the Christian, social 正义 finds it自我 deeply rooted in the personhood and actions of God.

Advocacy work is generally understood as influencing decision-makers by ensuring that policies and practices are appropriate and just and that the voices of those most marginalized in society are heard. Our faith deeply guides us in how we advocate for those who are disempowered, 包括那些受物质贫困影响的人, 系统性的不公正, 还有那些不公正法律和政策的受害者. (箴言31:8-9)

Just peace-building concerns it自我 with seeing the shalom of God manifested where conflict, 腐败, and greed have torn people apart from the potential that God has established for individuals and communities.  True peace or “shalom” is found when relationships are set right—with God, 自我, 其他人, 与神美好的创造同在. Accountability and restoration are both necessary aspects of a just peace, 寻求修复关系. 在一个充满分裂和冲突的世界里, we believe that 建设和平 is an integral aspect of our Christian witness, as well as a critical component in an approach to holistic development.  因此, skills such as conflict analysis and conflict transformation are complimented with an emphasis upon the dispositions of a person of peace. (马太福音五9)

投资时间, 财务状况, 并不是每个人都有精力去读研究生, but it is for those who are seeking a vocation and calling to work across the nexus of development, 正义, and peace-building efforts in their local communities or internationally (or both). Experience and academic training go hand in hand when it comes to being employed by a non-profit, 教堂, 国际非政府组织(NGO). Both play a critical role in ensuring high-quality work and opportunities for employment. If you feel called to engage in addressing complex issues in our world through the lens of God’s heart for the holistic restoration and flourishing of all people—we think it’s worth it, 我们希望你能加入我们的旅程!
