In an era that has seen growing concern about climate change and the impact of industry and technology\, Professor Wilkinson has insisted that this is a critical sphere for Christian thought and action. From their home on Galiano Island off the coast of British Columbia\, he and his wife\, Mary-Ruth Wilkinson\, have encouraged generations of students to think long and hard about the meaning of creation and of our responsibility as creatures within it. \n\nWhat can be done to address the enormous issues facing our fragile and threatened planet?\nIs it possible to live confidently and creatively in the face of massive problems such as pollution and the acidification of the oceans?\nWhat hope is there of making peace with creation?\n\nIn this hour-long film\, made with the assistance of a team of students from Regent College\, Loren Wilkinson goes in search of answers to these pressing questions. Through personal reflections (set both in the beautiful Gulf Islands where he lives and in the urban context of Vancouver\, where he continues to teach)\, stimulating conversations with leading thinkers\, artists and activists\, and specially created art work\, together with extracts from his poetry\, Loren Wilkinson presents his own compelling and beautiful vision for human life in the 21st century. \nIf you are unable to join us for the afternoon activities\, feel free to join us for the potluck supper and/or film.\nFor more details please email Paul Heintzman.\nUpcoming Event in Ottawa\n\nSaturday May 20\, 2017: Wildflower Walk\, Potluck Supper and an evening with Markku and Leah Kostamo (co-founders of A Rocha Canada).\nLeah Kostamo will also be participating in a dialogue with Margaret Atwood on the topic of The Future of Religion in Canada on the evening of Friday May 19 at the University of Ottawa.
