Institution:

Chatham University

Subject:

Description:

Course explores the ways in which sustainability and spirituality have intersected in a variety of world religions. Through readings, lecture, film, the internet, and independent research we raise questions such as In what ways does is sustainability made religious by these groups (Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and New Age traditions)? What are the religiously moral and ethical implications of food production/consumption? Who is participating in these practices? How do religious worldviews lend themselves to environmental action/awareness?
