Loyola Marymount University Department of Theological Studies

GROUNDED IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC TRADITION.

The Department of Theological Studies invites students to analyze questions of faith, the divine,  and ultimate meaning in the context of religious thought and practice. Through intellectually rigorous exploration of the full range of possibilities and ambiguities of faith, students of Theological Studies come to appreciate both the intrinsic value of religious inquiry and the role of religion in building a more just world. The Department offers several degree programs: an undergraduate major in Theology, an undergraduate minor in Theology, and two Master of Arts degrees (Theology and Pastoral Theology). The MA in Pastoral Theology program includes an additional ministry and counseling emphasis in addition to foundational courses in theology.

Looking for Multicultural Ministry?
Loyola Marymount University Center for Religion & Spirituality is offering an online continuing education program that examines the presence of Black Catholics in the Catholic Church.

“SPIRITUALITY OF CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING”
As members of the Catholic Church, we are responsible for evangelizing effectively and prophetically. To achieve this, we must deeply understand how Christ loves Black Catholics in a Church that faces challenges accepting diversity. This program examines the presence of Black Catholics in the Catholic Church, inspiring leaders to serve in their parishes. Everyone is welcome to enroll, including those who wish to become allies and support the Black Catholic community in their efforts to remain faithful to the Gospel of Christ and to work towards dismantling systemic racism in the Catholic Church. This certificate program focuses on the concerns of Black Catholics and their unique history, traditions, and voice in the universal Church.

FACULTY: Michael Howard, MACS, is Lead Faculty and Course Designer for LMU’s The Presence of Black Catholics in the Church Today and Tomorrow. Prof. Howard also works for University of Dayton and Notre Dame online and is founder of Eat the Scroll Ministry.
