As the established religion of one of Canada's founding cultures, Anglicanism has existed in some form in this country since the arrival of English explorers in 1497. In the subsequent five centuries Anglicanism has been a constant presence in the life of the nation, often for good, sometimes playing a more ambiguous role, both as an agent of empire, exclusion, or worse, as well as a source of burgeoning Canadian nationalism. Despite possessing a character often, erroneously, described in monolithic terms, Anglicanism has changed and adapted over time, through the lives, work, and worship of its adherents, to its particular situation in Canada, unique, though not divorced from developments elsewhere in the worldwide Anglican Communion, or even other denominations in Canada. This course will explore themes of Anglican identity, liturgy, and culture in Canada, tracing from earliest roots to the present, while considering the various successes, failures, and controversies in historical perspective. A concern will be to see whether Anglicanism's adaptability, and gradual indigenization, as well as external developments affecting this ecclesial identity, guarantee its survival in an increasingly indifferent national context.

As an introduction to the major mental disorders, this course aims to prepare students for working with clients with serious mental health problems in private, institutional and community settings. The course focuses on a biopsychosocial and spiritual understanding of mental health and well-being. Utilizing the holistic approach to mental health, this course will explore classifications and symptomatology of the more severe and chronic forms of psychiatric disorder, their etiology and nature, and their diagnosis. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5) will be used as a reference point. The students will also be introduced to the critical influence of culture, class, race and ethnicity, religion, and social values of the individual, family, group, and social institutions in the assessment of mental health disorders. The course will critically review current classification systems and major theories regarding the nature of mental disorders, their diagnoses and etiologies, the treatment approaches available to help people in their recovery, and culturally relevant variables. As a result, the students will be able to critically utilize terminology and concepts in the DSM-5 and identify best practices in psychotherapy practice.
