“Faith of our fathers (and mothers) living still” is the focus of this seminar exploring Christian models, spiritual mentors, and religious leaders. Supplements the usual emphases in the Reformed tradition by highlighting the role of Mary, mother of Jesus, and her living legacy as well as the classical and continuing contributions of mystics and martyrs. Students view - and correlate with primary sources - documentaries and films on Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Thomas Merton, St. Therese of Lisieux, and Howard Thurman.
