SUBJECTS
|
Christians and the Environment
Accommodation or Transformation?
Al Gore's recent film 'An Inconvenient Truth' has highlighted the damage we may be doing to the environment. Although there is not universal agreement about climate change, Christians must sense the importance of treating the environment as a sacred trust.
And Christians should be concerned not only with the physical environment, but also with the impact on their faith and witness of the spiritual, social and international pressures of our time.
The challenge is simple. Should we adapt and conform to the standards of an increasingly secular age? Or should we rather seek personal transformation so that we can make a difference in the world?
From Genesis 1, Alastair Noble will explore the implications of being entrusted with the created environment and how that should influence our personal and collective lifestyles.
From Exodus 20, Stephen McQuoid will consider the essence of God's moral law and how it applies to our lives and to today's society.
From Isaiah 61, David Clarkson will look at the extent to which Christians should involve themselves in issues of national and international justice.
From Acts 17, John Speirs will analyse the way in which Paul confronted the spiritual environment of his time and the lessons for evangelism in post-modern Britain.
This year GLO goes green in a Biblical sense. Do join us!
