In this summer course at the College of Charleston (Charleston, SC), college students take a critical look at many of the myths that have grown around baseball and use the sport as a mirror to understand the "experience of life" of America, its citizens, and its institutions. Should baseball really be considered our national pastime?
5. Spirituality of Running
This religious/theological studies course at Merrimack College (North Andover, MA) explores what is meant by "spirituality" and analyzes prayer, sacraments, and pilgrimage as ways of understanding running. College students' actual experience with running is shared, along with ways that running creates a connection with the world around us and with God.
