Learning With The Laws of Belief, Prayer, Ethics and Nature

ONLINE

October 28 & November 4, 11, 18
Tuesdays (6:45-9:15 pm EST)

Where do our belief systems and spiritual practices come from? In this class, we will take the trajectories of the Christian churches following three historic laws: the law of Belief, Prayer, and Ethics. However, given that climate disasters are already upon us, we must add an even one more fundamentally necessary law: Nature. How can these laws play together for the healing of a planet brutally attacked?

This class aims to help students to critically learn about their own religious backgrounds, to wrestle with the ways we engage our traditions and find ways to live in closer relation with the earth now. We will be asking these questions: Where do we start? With whom? For whom? What for?
