Ecology and Liturgy

Catalog description

Taught by JST. This seminar explores the vital connection between human concern for the Earth and its creatures, and worship of the living God. Readings and discussion will focus on scientific, liturgical and theological writings from a broad range of authors that illuminate the convergence of ecology and worship, and that propose a path toward deeper ethical and liturgical response to the global ecological crises that mark our times. Special attention will be given to perspectives of Ignatian spirituality and mission. Students will develop research papers or annotated bibliographies related to their specific interests.
