Facing Climate Change

Climate Change is one of the most theologically and scientifically complex, and morally acute issues confronting us today. This evening lecture aims to explore some of the dimensions of Climate Change as a moral and theological challenge, by looking at three Biblical texts that throw light on different aspects of the situation we find ourselves in: the problems of prophecy and false prophecy, the challenges associated with anticipation, and the difficulty of imagining apocalyptic futures.

This is a free event hosted by the St James' Institute and Gospel Conversations, as part of the Spring series Progress & Purpose. It is held in-person at St James' King Street, Sydney, followed by refreshments downstairs in the Crypt. All are most welcome to attend choral evensong from 6:15pm. The series will also be streamed online. Registration is essential for catering purposes (in-person) and to receive access details (online).

The Rev'd Dr Andrew Errington is Rector of Newtown & Erksineville Anglican Church and author of Every Good Path: Wisdom and Practical Reason in Christian Ethics and the Book of Proverbs (Bloomsbury, 2019). He is a member of the Social Issues Committee of the Sydney Diocese.
