Join us as we broaden the vision of both global and local missions from the perspective of human rights envisioning liberated relationships between people of faith and those who are experiencing oppression, injustice, and violations of fundamental rights. We will interact with and learn how a rights-based approach can be used as a tool for assessing the motivations, responsibilities, and actions of both churches or organizations in the global north and their global or local partners.  As a part of the engaged learning, we will visit the sacred and symbolic places in the life of Monsignor Romero – a symbol of justice and unity among the most vulnerable.

How we learn

• Examine the historical relationship between people of faith in the global north with people in the global south. 
• Explore tensions between historical relief and development work and the principles of human rights.
• Reflect upon how we see those suffering the consequences of conflicts and disasters. 
• Experience– all too briefly– the food, daily life, sites, and people of El Salvador.
