S2. Ep 9. Empathy, Ecology, and Faith Formation

EPISODE DETAILS

This week on the Empathy Table, Ideos’ Amar Peterman is joined by Lauren Daniels on the first ever CECPL Instagram LIVE.

Lauren, a teacher and community gardener based in downtown Chicago, speaks to the interconnectedness of cultivating land and faith formation. Lauren speaks to how creation is dependent upon relationships at the intersection of life, death, and rebirth. Amar and Lauren also talk about how access to food and land has been distributed unequally, as marginalized neighborhoods become food deserts and first-nations folk are removed from the land of their ancestors. Their conversation concludes with a discussion on a resurrected imagination of land—a recognition of how the earth responds to the actions of creation, both in Scripture and today.
