Christian Witness in Our Ecological Age: Panel Discussion (Hamilton, ON)
May 31 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT
Join A Rocha Ontario for a panel discussion on Saturday, May 31st to explore the topic of Christian Witness in Our Ecological Age!
Our current ecological age is one of rapid change. We are losing forests, fields, and agricultural land as cities continue to expand and sprawl. There are more and more extreme weather events linked with a changing climate. We have seen a significant decrease in many wildlife populations and an increase in the rate of species extinctions. Humans are witnessing many changes, difficulties, and complexities in our current ecological age.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by these environmental challenges? Have you ever thought, “what does Jesus say about all of this?” or “How should I live in light of all that is going on?” Or perhaps you have considered this carefully and have recieved push-back from Christians who do not see the value in creation care. Or maybe you’ve heard some people in secular settings say that Christians are the ones who are harming the environment the most.
How do we build bridges in this area with others? What does it look like to understand their values to find connection and shared action to care for the earth?
These are some of the questions that we would like to explore together with the help of our panelist, who have experience in restoration ecology, soil health, and environmental literature. All are encouraged to bring your own questions for our panelists and participate in our group discussion time at the end. Register below to join us.
