'Why Climate Changes Everything- Including Our Theology' - Brian Phillips

Beyond ‘dominion’, beyond ‘stewardship’, to…?  That’s what this presentation will explore.

We are entering a new epoch in geological time.  This transition is defined by our capacity to alter the conditions of natural systems such as sea water acidity, global ice cover, the effectiveness of the protective ozone layer, the quality of habitat for other living species and so on.  The idea “that we have the future in our hands” has been invested with a radically new significance.  A global evolution of this scale requires an equal scale of evolution in our theological thinking.   The way forward…?  Connecting to timeless wisdom: listening, learning and co-operating with the natural world.
