Technology, Wilderness & Creation
Course Description
Embark on an eight-day voyage through Gulf Islands in replicas of 18th C. boats, while studying the impact that technologies—both traditional and modern—have had and continue to have upon the Christian life. As you row, sleep beneath the stars and watch seals and otters, contemplate where our technologies are in sync and at odds with Creation. No previous boating experience required. This course is offered in partnership with A Rocha Canada. See website for special fee and registration information.ADDITIONAL INFO
