Concise Statement of Faith

 

Downloadable instructions:  Final Assignment – Concise Statement of Faith (pdf) Final Assignment – Concise Statement of Faith (pdf) – Alternative Formats

Overview:
This paper offers the chance to articulate a biblically grounded, historically informed, and theologically precise confession of Christian faith crafted after the student’s own way of speaking.  The goal of the work is to help the student run formative pieces of Christian teaching through the filter of his or her own thought, enabling him or her to express his or her faith succinctly and with the texture of traditional awareness.  The work should bring together what the student has read throughout the term, learned in individual session work, and gleaned from research conducted in select reference works or theological treatises (see Bibliography section below).

Instructions:
Compose a personal statement of faith on each of the following: Revelation, Sin, Reconciliation, Creation, and Eschatology.  The content in every case should reflect the material covered in readings and class sessions, should be situated within Scripture by citing at least three key biblical texts as support, and should be in dialogue with Christian tradition as encapsulated in two reference works/theological treatises.  Over the span of the doctrinal statements, the student must exhibit familiarity with at least five reference/theological titles; i.e., while each statement will cite two works, they must not be the same pieces in every case.  A minimum of five titles in total must appear to earn highest marks on the project.
Now for the hard part: be elegantly concise!  Length of each statement is between 70 and 100 words.  Its format should be one paragraph per statement.  Follow the layout of the sample statements provided exactly.  Use single spacing for each, double spacing between them, with 12 point Times New Roman, so that the cumulative length of the paper is approximately 2 pages.  There is no need to compose transition sentences between the doctrines; focus on writing thoughtful, precise, and meaningful confessions of faith.  Include a cover sheet and references page. Write your paper in Microsoft Word and format it according to APA standards.

Dr. Joy DeGruy Leary: Post Traumatic Slave Disorder

Synopsis: While African Americans managed to emerge from chattel slavery and the oppressive decades that followed with great strength and resiliency, they did not emerge unscathed. Slavery produced centuries of physical, psychological and spiritual injury. Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America’s Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing lays the groundwork for understanding how the past has influenced the present, and opens up the discussion of how we can use the strengths we have gained to heal.

Indigenous Art, Knowledge and Human Rights

Document Analysis Assignment

Cover page with title INDIGENOUS ART, KNOWLEDGE, AND HUMAN RIGHTS

There are two ‘documents’ included in this document series. You must include both in your analysis.

The 2 documents are as follows:

1) Indigenous Arts Protocols

2) “How to Steal a Canoe” by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson (Mississauga Nishnaabeg)

Document series engages a discussion about Indigenous art, knowledge production/world making (another way to think about what epistemology means), and human rights over knowledge ownership. One of the clips features several Indigenous artists, thinkers, and musicians talking about Indigenous protocols and the question of ethical engagement and ‘reciprocity’ with Indigenous epistemological creativity. The second clip is an animated version of a short story written by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. It deals with settler colonialism, stolen knowledge, and the issue of reparations/returning of Indigenous art to its rightful place/owner. You are being asked to think about: what is Indigenous knowledge? How is Indigenous knowledge is used? how is ownership of knowledge connected to colonial violence and power? how to define ‘responsibility’ and what is an ethical way to deal with Indigenous art in the context of settler societies?

Assignment can be divided in three sections:

1. a section outlining (but not summarizing) the main points and arguments made in the two clips provided;

2. a second section that includes an analysis and explanation about the history of colonial and racial violence and the stealing of Indigenous art/knowledge (there is no shortage of information on this); and

3. a third section that includes an analysis of how the material in the documents can help you directly illustrate the theoretical concepts about ethics, epistemic violence, solidarity, colonial violence, etc.

NOTE: You are required to do research for this assignment. Include the “Land as Pedagogy’ by Leanne Simpson article. Also, you must find peer- reviewed articles, chapters in books, or monographs to complete this assignment .

You might want to consult work done by Linda Tuhiwai Smith such as her book titled, Decolonizing Methodologies.
