Life on our planet is changing rapidly as a direct result of human activity. Climate change, pollution, and landfill waste are just a few of the serious environmental issues we face today. The biblical call to be good stewards of the earth’s resources is not just a trend, but a fundamental aspect of Christian discipleship. How are we, as pastors and church leaders, encouraging our communities to care for our planet?
This conference seeks to inspire you to incorporate earthkeeping practices into your personal and congregational life. We will examine the theology behind creation care, and look at examples of it in practice. Our aim is that you will walk away invigorated and equipped with resources and practical steps that your church can take as a community.
Co-hosting this conference is A Rocha Canada, a Christian organization that engages in scientific research, environmental education, and community-based conservation projects.
