Education for Creation Care

1 credits · Divinity School

This practical theological course explores how practices of caring for God's creation may become integral to forming disciples of Jesus Christ. It includes assessment of current ecological decline and remedial responses at global and local levels, an excavation of the surprisingly 'green' character of our scriptural, theological, and worshipping traditions, plus use of curricular and pedagogical approaches that call attention to God's creative and incarnate work through exploration of places, food systems, and household economics. The class features several field trips to ministry settings actively practicing creation care. We go outside often!
