World Christianity and Spirituality: Narratives of Human Flourishing

0 Shares

Did you know that a typical Christian today is a non-white woman in Asia, Africa, or Latin America? Currently, over two-thirds of the world’s Christians reside outside the West and a quarter of them live in Africa.

If you are keen to explore the study of Christianity and examine its many voices and spiritualities from historical, social, and theological perspectives then ‘World Christianity and Spirituality: Narratives of Human Flourishing’ is the unit for you!

Discover the less-heard Christian narratives and human flourishing in global contours such as Samoan, Chinese, Diasporan, and Nigerian spiritualities.

This subject is face-to-face in the classroom at Whitley College and runs over six sessions from 9:30am – 5:30pm.

The dates include:

Aug 9 & 23
Sep 6 & 20
Oct 11 & 25

Enrolments close on Friday, July 19!
