Faithful Citizen Starter Kit: Living Responsibly in a Global Society
***NON-RETURNABLE***

Faithful Citizen is a six-session small group adult study developed by the Center for the Congregation in Public Life that explores two views of current American life " individualism and the common good " and asks how to faithfully respond to the interlocking global challenges of economics, ecology, security, and health.

Each session may be conducted in one hour or expanded to include a meal and personal sharing.
• Session 1: Global Society “Why worry about the world's troubles? I've got enough of my own!
• Session 2: Global Economy “Is my job going to China?
• Session 3: Global Ecology “I've changed my light bulbs. Now what?
• Session 4: Global Security and Governance “Why don't I feel safe? And besides, why do they hate us?
• Session 5: Global Health “Why risk getting shots if plenty of other people refuse to be immunized?
• Session 6: Civic Virtue “How can we teach citizenship? We don't even have time to eat together!

The course includes a DVD with six 10-minute conversations between renowned sociologist Robert Bellah, author of Habits of the Heart: Individualism and Commitment in American Life, and Donald W. Shriver Jr., Emer. Pres., Union Theological Seminary (NYC). The DVD also includes six 5-minute clips that uncover the challenges, tensions, and unresolved dilemmas created by the current global situation.
