Upcoming Immersions

Faculty: Rev. Dr. Nick Works

Description:

The ministry of the Pine Ridge Reconciliation Center is to foster mutual trust, respect and understanding while addressing the poverty that exists on the reservation. This J-term course seeks to offer a cross-cultural opportunity for seminary students that will shed light on the role the Christian Church has played in the development of our shared story with the Lakota people both for harm and for healing. This will help students to explore their calling in ministry in this age of racial and spiritual reckoning.  The Plan is for this to be an in-person travel immersion (Not a virtual immersion).

Led by Dr. Phil Wingeier-Rayo

You are invited to participate in a two-week sojourn to immerse yourself in the reality of the US-Mexico border through readings, interviews with people on the border and media resources to learn about the history and root causes of immigration through biblical and theological lenses. We will interview persons directly impacted by immigration, activists, human rights advocates, church leaders, immigration attorneys, and people providing direct assistance on both sides of the border to learn more about the complex and competing forces creating this human tragedy unfolding everyday along the border. The seminar will be hosted on zoom Monday-Thursday 8:30-2:30.
