YM 2010 Urban and Multi Ethnic Youth Ministry
This course is an engagement with multi-ethnic & urban settings and connecting the youth worker/ pastor to the field of urban & multi-ethnic youth ministry. It explores the issues and systems that affect youth and youth ministry in urban contexts in North America, with a special focus on Chicago. There is an emphasis on the practical skills and knowledge needed by a leader in an urban multi-ethnic church, para-church, or community based setting. Students who have experience in urban settings are invited to use the course to further build on their experience and knowledge base and to inform their current and/or future ministry. This course seeks to examine, engage, and develop a theology for the urban and multi-ethnic city through discussion, historical contexts, sociocultural analysis, theory, literature, film, Black Popular culture, Hip Hop, and the Word of God.
