What the Environment Teaches Us about Prayer and Worship

Since he started learning from the environment, Dr. Claudio Carvalhaes, professor of worship at Union Theological Seminary in New York, has changed his teaching, research, and preaching. In one class, he asked students to wait till they heard a bird sing before the class started. He wrote the play, When Wajcha Meets Pachamama, which won the most creative production award from the New York Theater Festival. Dr. Carvalhaes works at the intersection of art, ritual, and religion and performs a song about the bees at the end of the episode.
