Land Acknowledgement This land on which this course is held is the territory of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. The territory was the subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and Confederacy of the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work in the community, on this territory. Course Description This course is a critical examination of contemporary peace theologies as they have developed within the Historic Peace Churches (Mennonite, Brethren, Society of Friends, though with a primary focus on the Anabaptist/Mennonite tradition) and through ecumenical engagement. Several themes emerges. 1) There is a strong ecclesiological character to peace church theology--the distinctive character of the community of faith is the embodiment of the peace of Jesus Christ. Whether particular understandings of a church s peace witness, such as pacifism and nonviolence, are church-dividing issues depends, in part, on how ecclesiology and ethics are related to one another. 2) Ecumenical contacts have shaped and deepened peace church theology just as peace church theology has prompted a broadening of the discourse of peace within the ecumenical movement, and in other Christian traditions. As ecclesiology has emerged as the central issue in the Faith and Order stream of ecumenism, the historical peace churches have much to offer, and to receive, in the dialogue with the peace themes as they are developing in the Life and Work stream of ecumenism. 3) These ecumenical engagements have led to practical proposals around Just Policing (within the context of traditions committed to either Just War or Christian Pacifist approaches), and Just Peace (a framework that seeks to get beyond that dichotomy). The 2016 conference on Nonviolence and Just Peace co-sponsored by the Pontifical Council for Justice 1

2 and Peace is another significant development. 4) Whereas question of war and peace, just war and pacifism, and the nature and mission of the churched shaped earlier rounds of reflection, theologians in the peace church traditions are also examining issues of atonement, the character of God, epistemology, ecology, and global capitalism. 5) There are profound internal contradictions in the theology of the peace churches. For example, the work of Mennonite theologian John Howard Yoder is central in the development of peace church theology, yet given his abuse of women also deeply problematic. Towards the end of the course, we will consider how the structure of the peace theology of which Yoder is a primary representative masks other forms of violence, especially violence that is internal to the community of faith. Learning outcomes 1. Demonstrate understanding of peace church theologies, especially as they emerged in the Historic Peace Churches in the past century. 2. Articulate the relationship between ecclesiology and peace witness as it is developing in peace church theology. 3. Analyze and evaluate the discourses of peace as they are developing in ecclesial, scholarly, and ecumenical settings. 4. Assess the extent to which various understandings of the church s peace witness may or may not be church dividing. 5. Articulate a variety of theological and practical approaches to peace. 6. Think critically about the implications of peace church theology for theological loci and ethical issues. 7. Understand and critically respond to the blind spots in peace church theologies, including the ways in these theologies have permitted or perpetuated violence. 8. Foster the capacity to engage in respectful and critical dialogue with others. 9. Develop skills in theological research and writing. Required texts: 1.
