How can the church respond to the climate crisis?
Explores how churches can respond to the climate crisis in a way that is biblically informed and mindful of the global situation. 4 webinars, starting 12th June, 2:30pm, 2025.
Description
Confronted with daily reports of a changing environment, a disproportionate impact on the world's poor, and concerning future scenarios, what is a reasonable way for us as church leaders to respond? Some have ignored it, caricatured it or politicized it. Others have found themselves overwhelmed and filled with fear by it. This webinar series seeks a third way that is biblically informed, mindful of the global situation and aware of the significant ways in which our churches can be part of the answer.
This webinar series is presented by Steve Worsley and invited guests who are leading academics and practitioners in their fields of expertise.
