What has faith to do with the environment? Scriptural and theological perspectives – Dr Hilary Marlow
Fri 3 July 2020
Although our attention in the past few months has been focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, environmental challenges have not gone away. No-one could fail to be aware that the world is facing a serious crisis, one that threatens global security and the wellbeing of countless people, not to mention other species. But how do we respond? What are the best or the right courses of action? How might religious faith help us respond to some of the tough questions raised by our use of earth’s resources? This talk will examine questions such as these with a particular focus on the Christian tradition and scriptures.
