This course will look at the way Anglican Christianity emerged and developed over two millennia as a complex, evolving understanding of God, history, the natural world, and human life. Using images, music and texts, the course will acquaint participants with both the variety and continuity of Christian thought and expression across a wide variety of media. Historical re-enactments will allow participants to experience the lived history of the church in a vivid and holistic way. The course will demonstrate how the Anglican way of being Christian synthesizes this entire history and continues its evolution toward a generous approach to existence. In alternate years, this course is offered in Fall or Spring term.
