Faith and Justice Cohorts are opportunities for students to gather in small groups (6-8) to journey together over a quarter exploring the meaning and application of "a faith that does justice". Students meet weekly for 2 hours to explore justice issues through the lens of faith, while engaging in reflection, dialogue, prayer, guest speakers, and video's and community building.
Engage: Exploring Nonviolent Living (Spring Quarter 2013)
This twelve part study and action program created by Pace-e-Bene offers students a wide variety of principles, stories, exercises, and readings for learning, practicing, and experimenting with the power of creative nonviolence for personal and social transformation. Students will explore structural/institutional/cultural violence, the dynamic of nonviolent peacemaking, tools for transforming conflicts, and create a group nonviolent action/activity.

Faith Encounters the Ecological Crisis (Spring Quarter 2013)
Students will identify ways in which we are living beyond the biocapacity of the planet and identify elements of spirituality for living through the ecological crisis. Participants will view several films, engage in small and large group discussions, and meet with guest speakers. Through this process students will address questions around priorities, moral values, and what we owe the world now, the future generations after us, and what God intended for this creation.
