YPP 9307: Faith & Dominant American Culture

This course seeks to develop an appreciation of the strengths and challenges of the dominant American way of life: its vision, its values, representative character types in situations, codes of behavior and symbols in relation to a Catholic Christian worldview. Students will employ a reflective process to understand the implications of the inculturation of the Gospel in the American cultural context and the implications of living life in the Spirit. Introduction to Pastoral Studies or one of the Scripture courses is recommended prior to taking this course.
