Christian Worship and Ethics

Can worship shape how we live in the world? This course explores the deep connections between Christian worship and ethical life. Learners will examine how practices like prayer, Eucharist, confession, and lament influence how individuals and communities respond to issues like justice, inequality, and public responsibility. Drawing from voices in theology and ethics, this course invites participants to think critically about liturgy as a source of moral formation—and how churches can reimagine worship to meet the needs of the world. Please note: We strongly recommend completing the course Introduction to Christian Theology: Doctrine, Faith, and Practice beforehand, as this course builds on that foundation.
