Food: Creation, Community, and Communion
Eating is one of the most profound ways by which we relate to each other, to the created world, and to God. In this course we will explore, within the framework of Christian theology, some of the biological, ecological, psychological, aesthetic, spiritual, agricultural, historical, economic, and ethical aspects of what, why, and how we eat. The core of the course will be readings, lectures, excursions and discussion exploring a thoughtful Christian engagement with many dimensions of the production, distribution, preparation, and consumption of food. This course will be offered in Weekend School format in order to make possible extensive experiential learning opportunities. Locations will include A Rocha Canada's Brooksdale Environmental Centre in South Surrey, UBC Farm, and various sites in Vancouver.
Enrollment Limit: 16
