" Building
A People of Power" helps Christians, congregations,
student populations and other ministries learn to work from
a biblical framework for substantive systemic change in the
world. People discover:
- A biblical analysis of how their
city's or country's economic, political and values-setting
systems use their power to either empower or to exploit
the poor and middle-class;
- the biblical dream of the
"Shalom Community" (or the "reign" or
"kingdom of God");
- biblical principles of how God's
people can successfully work both for public justice and
personal righteousness;
- biblical models showing how God's
people can bring about dramatic transformation in their
city's or country's systems and structures, as well as in
people, through broad-based organizing;
- A practical introduction to
philosophies and methodologies of community and
broad-based organizing.
Dr.
Robert Linthicum, president of Partners in Urban
Transformation, is principal teacher of the course. Mr. Mike
Miller, director of ORGANIZE Training Center, and Mrs. Marilyn
Stranske, national organizer of Christians Supporting
Community Organizing, also share in the teaching. Interviews
with CSCO members as well as faith-based community organizers
and leaders appear throughout. Film clips from PBS
documentaries, from faith-based organizing projects in action
and from Matthew: The Visual Bible illustrate the
teaching materials.
