Pilgrimage on the themes of reconciliation, human rights,
political theology, and forgiveness

Louisville Seminary is pleased to announce that a travel seminar to South Africa will be offered for January-Term 2009.  The Seminar will involve a 10-14 day excursion from Louisville, Ky., to South Africa, along with brief preparation sessions leading up to the trip. 

Professors Adeney and Hill will lead a group of students, faculty, pastors, and alums to explore themes of reconciliation, human rights, political theology, and forgiveness. The pilgrimage will involve a theological reflection and missions component, building a constructive understanding of the relationship between the two and addressing questions such as:

• What is happening in the life of the church in a post-apartheid South Africa?
• What can we learn from South Africa about the Christian language of hope, salvation, justice, and community? 

Capetown, Pretoria, and/or Johannesburg will be among the primary geographic regions for reflection and travel during the journey.  Participants are advised and will be given guidance on fundraising (church, family, friends, social service, etc.) to defray the cost of the trip. Cost for the trip will be finalized at least one year prior to departure. Please note that in order to keep costs to a minimum, we will rely on hospitality and mission projects from our contacts.  Participants should be prepared to "rough it."  Students, who are strongly encouraged to attend, will have the opportunity to receive dual credit as either an Area B or C elective.

If you are interested in joining the pilgrimage, please contact Professor Johnny B. Hill, 502-992-5438, email: jhill@lpts.edu.
