Technology, Wilderness, and Creation
Course Description
Embark on an eight-day voyage through Gulf Islands in replicas of eighteenth-century boats, while studying the impact that technologies—both traditional and modern—have had and continue to have upon the Christian life. Row, sleep beneath the stars, watch seals and otters, and 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.
