Reconciliation and Peacemaking (Rich)

Human Rights (Rich)

Viv's responses: Where do these currently fit in the program, given the limitations of time and the reduction of a core emphasis on churchplanting with each additional specialty

1. Women in development should be spread through every course.  This requires a team of non-aggressive, non-Western women in leadership to review each course and identify where a woman's perspective would modify it or if there are distinct areas that require to be added to the whole program.  Suggestions: Ruth Mangalwadi, Betty-Sue Brewster.

2. Developing compute centres could replace the IT course.  The difficulty is that most students will have little computer knowledge, so an IT course seems essential.

3. Reconciliation and peacemaking and human rights are inherent in the landrights course and in the two advocacy courses.
