The De La Salle Brothers in the De La Salle Lipa College of Law shall minister to the spiritual needs of the students, staff and professors. They shall teach courses on Lasallian Mission, Christian values and the church@s Social Doctrines in the law school. They shall serve as shepherds to the DLSL Center @s flock, which in turn comprises of the law students and the communities they serve.
De La Salle is synonymous with education. And the education a Lasallian institution embarks on and devotes its best energies is in the education of the poor and the youth and the propagation of the liberating and transformative Christian message and Good News. Key concepts will include stewardship and the environment, continuing education and value formation, corporate social responsibility, and political holiness. 5. Christian Perspectives on Social Institutions: When a mass of human beings decide to live together and form a society, certain norms of behavior and ways of doing things begin to emerge. And for some order to emerge from chaos, social contracts are forged. Marriage, Family Life, Education, Governance, the role of the Military Sector, Economics and Financial Systems, Nation States, Global Politik are some of the concerns that have elicited responses from social theoreticians and Christian thinkers alike. This course would like to explore the latter, in an analytical way, and how the Christian position has brought to bear upon secular societies through the centuries to the present. 6. Social Doctrines of the Church: Viewing human society as a juxtapositioning of various dynamic social forces, not necessarily always going in the same direction, the Church has developed its doctrines as it continues to read the times, and in the effort to remain faithful to its Lord and Master until the Parousia (Second Coming). Of particular interest is the emergence of a coherent body of work representing Catholic thought on the plight of workers, the dignity of labor, the relations between the rich and the poor, and the need to suffuse the entire global economic system and international relations with the light of the Gospel.
