Where Faith Meets Ecology: A Journey from Biology Teacher to Theology Student
October 31, 2024
Meredith Sanders and Laura Joseph

Growing up in a generation where discussions of science and faith were often at odds with one another, I often felt tension as a public high school biology teacher. However, the longer I taught high school biology and the intricacies of the cellular processes, DNA, genetics, and ecology, the more I was filled with awe and wonder. I could not compartmentalize my love of teaching biology from my belief in God the Creator who paid attention to the marvelous detail of the DNA molecule to the vibrant coloring of a butterfly. As I transitioned from a teacher to student once again, the Theology, Ecology, and Food Justice (TEFJ) program at George W. Truett Theological Seminary has offered me a framework and language for theology and science to no longer be at odds with one another.
