SWK 270 - Spirituality, Religion, and Professional Practice
Credit(s): 3
This course explores the relationship between spirituality, religion and professional practice. Students will be challenged to explore and articulate their own beliefs and understanding about spirituality and to work toward an appropriate integration of the spiritual dimension of self into the context of their work. This course will focus on three major areas essential to integrating spiritual practice in a professional setting:1) SELF- exploration of one’s own spirituality/religious beliefs and how that impacts a compassionate response to others, 2) GOD- exploration of the divine/God/faith/spirituality in a diverse contexts that the professional may encounter., and 3) COMMUNITY-integration of one’s spiritual beliefs in such a way that the professional can provide compassionate and ethical care to others, particularly those who are suffering. This course will pay special attention to Fontbonne University’s Catholic identity and its relationship with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. Through the history and ministry of the Sisters, who served God and the dear neighbor without distinction, we will explore Catholic Social teaching and discover what it means to “seek to recognize the presence of God in all creation and to participate in the continuing transformation of ourselves and a world in need.”
