Throughout this seminar, students will read and reflect on a consistent ethic of life. Exploration begins in the orientation classes, in which students will become familiar with various life issues (end of life, bioethics, creation care, a full concept of being pro-life, etc.) through readings, lectures, and by meeting people who work on life-related issues. The seminar will travel to Chicago to meet with various organizations, advocacy groups, and local communities serving and dialoguing around the topic of life. While in Chicago, students will also participate in direct service that honors the life of all, including those on the margins. Follow-up classes facilitate analysis and synthesis of insights gained during the week of experiential learning.
