The Chalmers Center for Economic Development will offer our “Foundations and Principles of Holistic Ministry” distance learning course twice this fall. The first offering is scheduled for August 18 – September 13, 2008 and the second for October 20 – November 15, 2008. The fall offering of the follow up course, “Principles and Practices of Christian Microfinance and Microenterprise Development,” has one remaining seat; however, it will be offered again in Spring 2009.
Topics include:
- “What causes poverty?” and why this question matters.
- Should development be based upon people’s needs and/or their assets?
- Who determines the kind of development that is done and how it is implemented?
- How should the local church respond to poverty?
- What impact does worldview have on poverty and development?
