1 NORTHERN BAPTIST SEMINARY UR 310-UL ISSUES FACING URBAN COMMUNITIES FALL 2017 SEPTEMBER 25 - DECEMBER 8 MONDAY 7:00pm - 9:40pm (at South Side Campus) Rev. Dr. Marshall Elijah Hatch, Instructor MHatch@faculty.seminary.edu COURSE INTRODUCTION The Gospel of Jesus Christ is particularly suited for the complexities of life in the city. Scripture begins the human narrative with life in a garden and the ends with eternal life in God's holy city. The Old Testament presents an agrarian people chosen for a land of promise, and the New Testament projects a new community of faith gathered from the diverse urban centers of the cosmopolitan Roman Empire. Our course will guide class members through processes of contextual theological reflection and exploration of the ministry challenges of Chicago's race-based inequalities and institutionalized residential segregation from opportunity. We will study the processes of doing theology; that is, understanding context and reflecting upon sacred texts for guidance to respond to urban issues with the Gospel of Christ and the power of the kingdom of God. This course will help students to develop greater capacities to hear the cries of the hurting and to discern God's call to urban ministries. Students will also develop tools to critique various models of church and para-church ministries operating in the inner city. Students will be equipped and charged to serve up more relevant and effective approaches to urban ministry for the twenty-first century. COURSE TEXTS *Coates, Ta-Nehisi, Between the World and Me.

Individuals are able to do their best work and thinking when their peers are fully present and engaged. We expect each person to both participate in class and carefully listen to others with the belief that everyone s contribution is equally important. Therefore,

6 the following policies have been established in order to provide clarity in regard to attendance expectations and relationships in the classroom. Diploma/Certificate Student Course Requirements The amount of work required of Diploma/Certificate students will be at the discretion of the professor. Students will be responsible for contacting the professor about what assignments are required. Class Attendance Policy It is expected that students will attend and participate in all class sessions. Failure to attend at least 80% of class sessions is grounds for automatic failure. A professor may set other more strict attendance expectations for a given course. Students are always expected to communicate with a professor in advance if they will be absent. Attendance expectations are higher for online, intensive courses, and integrative seminar (see syllabus for specific requirements). Class Tardiness Policy The third time a student is late to the start of class, it will be counted as a class absence. It is also expected that students will return from a break by the time specified by the professor. Food in the Classroom Drinks are welcome in the classroom. Food should only be consumed in the student commons and the breakroom. Please limit eating to before, after or during breaks from class. Late Work Policy If a student cannot complete the work for a course by the due date listed on the syllabus, they must submit a Request for a Grade of Incomplete form to the Registrar by 4:30 of the last day of the term. The form must be signed by the instructor and Dean of Students. The professor may set stipulations and grade reductions. In the absence of a formal request form, the student will receive a grade based upon work completed by the last day of the term. Turabian Format All papers, including footnotes and bibliography, must be submitted in the correct format according to Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 8 th ed., Plagiarism Plagiarism is the act of passing off as one s own the words or ideas of someone else without providing proper acknowledgement or documentation.
