An updated poster from Emmaus, now publicly sharable! The course costs $90 CAD (which is very, very cheap for a graduate class) and is open to anyone with an internet connection. You can register by emailing academic-registrar@icscanada.edu. Some highlights from the syllabus, which should be posted soon:

– how the Haymarket anarchists felt connected to Jesus

– a Catholic priest helps found the IWW

– Methodist pastor A. E. Smith joins the Communist Party of Canada where he discovers the truth of the prophets

– Joe Wallace, a Catholic communist, becomes the most famous Canadian poet in the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China

Tell your friends! If this course is successful, I have a greenlight to develop one or more courses along similar lines for following semesters. Let me know if you have any questions!
