Abstract
This project represents the design and implementation
of a one semester course addressing social justice issues
titled, "Religious Perspectives on Faith and Justice."
This course is offered as one component in a four semester
religious formation curriculum at an inter-faith Jesuit
college preparatory school. Such a course of study in
religious education should represent a ministerial focus
which concentrates on the three-fold task of communicating
information, encouraging formation and witnessing personal
transformation. It is within both an institutional as well
as an inter-personal framework which continually seeks to
develop in each person a positive self-image, an appreciation
for the richness of God's creation, the confidence /ability to
ask and resolve pertinent questions surrounding human existence and to elicit a response beyond the moral minimum and
into the extraordinary that the teaching ministry gains
clarity.
