Why Creation is Waiting for the Christians: An Evening with Peter Harris (Winnipeg, MB)
October 30 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm CDT
The founder of A Rocha International is coming to Winnipeg and you are invited to come hear him speak. Peter Harris has been involved in the global nature conservation movement for over 40 years. Peter will be giving his talk Why Creation is Waiting for the Christians.
The world is facing what has been called a polycrisis, one which certainly implies damage to both climate and all forms of life on earth. But is the good news that Christians believe in, relevant to these times? We will explore how it is, and what it means for some of the most impoverished human communities and the threatened ecosystems that sustain them.
“The good news of Jesus is meant to be written in the landscapes and not just in people’s lives.” – Peter Harris
Refreshments will be served after.
This event is hosted by A Rocha in Manitoba in partnership with Faith Covenant Church and Canadian Scientific & Christian Affiliation
Location: Faith Covenant Church – 1229 Windermere Ave
Time: Oct 30, 2025 – 7:00 PM

About Peter Harris
Peter and his late wife Miranda founded A Rocha, a family of conservation organizations in over 22 countries working together to live out God’s calling to care for creation, in 1983. The A Rocha story is told in Peter’s books, Under the Bright Wings and Kingfisher’s Fire. A Cambridge graduate and Anglican minister, Peter has served as Adjunct Faculty at Regent College, Vancouver and Au Sable Institute, Michigan. In his retirement, he continues to serve A Rocha as a volunteer, developing ways to create jobs and wealth and improve the environment instead of overexploiting it. In 2019, Peter and Miranda were in a horrific road accident in South Africa, which she did not survive, and which he has since spoken about in lectures and on film.
“Peter Harris is a persistent and most convincing witness that the Christ who saves and the Christ who creates are one and the same Christ, that the care and celebration of creation is essential to a full evangelical witness of the Gospel of salvation.” – Eugene Peterson
