As "Religion and the Anthropocene" winds down, we devoted one more class to our class blog, neglected these past many weeks. Everyone was tasked with adding two items, introducing some news story or artwork found online, and then trying to articulate what it made them feel. I did, too. (The titles of my posts were hyperlinked to two articles which made me feel, respectively, practically hopeful and disablingly crazy.)
Next week I'll cull from the class' articles a list of affects and propose ways in which religion, in the various forms in which we've encountered it, might offer ways of naming, framing, defusing or engaging them.
