24 July – 28 July, 13.30 – 16.30 h, onsite & online, Regent College, 5800 University Blvd, Vancouver, BC: Summer Course Mary McCampbell: The Arts, Empathy, and Spiritual Formation. Our malnourished capacity for empathy flows out of an equally malnourished imagination. To truly love and welcome others, we need to strengthen our imagination, learning to see our neighbours as God sees them. To do this, we need stories–stories that illuminate and convict, take us beyond ourselves, and enable us to see the beauty and complexity of our neighbours’ worlds. Join us for an interdisciplinary exploration of narrative art in literature, film, television, and music, as we discover how expanding our imaginations can embolden and empower us to love our neighbours as ourselves. https://www.regent-college.edu/summer/courses/course-details?course_id=ARTS.536&track=summer
