- Deeply examine the three “selves” of reflection, evaluation, and disclosure—particularly around self- identified values and ethics as they apply to theological/philosophical categories.
- Capacity to identify how the human experience of faith influences service and creates dialogue around questions of meaning and purpose.
- Integrate social justice theory with a personal, communal, and global ethic based on sustainable practices with direct application for service and community engagement.
