How should Christians respond to climate change and the ecological crises in our world today? Is the Gospel really good news for the whole earth? Does the mission of God have an ecological dimension? What is the Christian hope for God’s new creation, for “the new heavens and the new earth”? How does this hope drive our work for God’s kingdom in the present world?
Come and be encouraged to care for God’s creation at these discussions. Find out about God’s word on the stewardship of His creation and a theocentric, love-based motivation to care for creation and communities. Learn about the A Rocha story and its conservation projects in 18 countries. Connect with likeminded Christians, ask questions freely, and share your stories and ideas.
These discussions will help all Christians discover hope for their environment, and be energised for our work of change, rescue and transformation within the present world.
Dr Graham McAll will also be leading a session on: “Climate Change, Health & Faith: Calling Christians in Medicine”.
Dr McAll will introduce the current understanding of anthropogenic climate change and how it is thought to affect human health. He aims to encourage those in healthcare to see themselves as uniquely placed to respond to these issues, and encourage the responsibility to care for the earth with hope, remembering the vocation’s respected place in the community. Using examples of good practice, with contributions from discussion, he will discuss how environmental initiatives may be supported in mitigation, adaptation, education and research (read abstract).
