This course seeks to provide students with trauma informed understandings, tools and resources to support families or individuals seeking healing from violent relationships or internalized oppression. Special attention will be given to the epidemic of gender-based violence against women and girls, as well as against 2SLGBTQIA+ persons. Students will explore these realities within the life of the church, as well as family and community systems more broadly. They will examine the ways scriptural passages and Christian teachings have often been used to promote or silently enable abusive behaviors that violate the dignity and respect of all people. Theologically, we will examine sexuality as a call to community flourishing. Collectively, we will continue to employ an appreciative inquiry lens to reflect on what community flourishing looks like in light of the power dynamics surrounding gendered violence in our communities.
