The "Religion & Ecology" class visited with the rector of the Church of the Ascension today! Well, she joined our zoom class, and as she spoke about the importance of places we feel we belong to ecological and religious commitment, I shared some of the images she's been sharing with her congregation of their covid-shuttered sanctuary. The dynamic play of sunlight and candle smoke powerfully evoke being in that place for me, and I think it got students thinking about the lives of places - in time and in community - in a new way despite zoom constraints!
