Abstract
The Christian practice of a shared meal, including shared hospitality, sacred meal, testimony and prayer, stimulates students’ engagement to act on issues of justice in relation to classmates and the wider community. Integration between the teacher’s personal faith and the pedagogical approach by redesigning teaching practices re-imagines the class beyond rejigging techniques. Seriously considering each student as a creative human being made in the image of God and embodied participation in communal activities that reshapes pedagogy is instructive as we move into a post-Covid era revealing a need for deeper relational approaches to education.
