Practicing Resurrection (and Sociological Consciousness and Israeli Identity) in Urban Wastelands

We will discuss the roots and shape of the ecological crisis, learning through the case of Camden, NJ. Also, we will discuss Biblical responses to the difficult problem of disintegrating ecosystems and communities through the case of my Camden community. Along with various tangents of self-criticism and cynicism, we will discuss hopeful concrete practices that communities can do to promote healthy relationships in our neighborhoods and the earth.
