SUST 309 Sustainability, Spirituality Ethics

In this course, we immerse ourselves in the stories and ideas of people who have made a positive contribution to the sustainability of the planet. What kind of faith or worldview contributed to action? How does our understanding of right and wrong influence the health of earth? How is justice a part of this story? Justice for whom? How does spirituality relate to sustainability? The course emphasizes peacemaking and justice as essential to addressing environmental problems. Assignments encourage students to craft an ethic of their own. Taught as part of the Sustainability Semester at Merry Lea.
