Course Description

Church leaders around the world are calling upon the faithful to address the moral dimensions of ecological degradation, and a growing community of theologians claims that the destruction of the earth is the “central moral imperative of our times.”   Accordingly, this course seeks to explore the role of the church in addressing ecological concerns, and to equip pastors and other Christian leaders with the theological, spiritual, and practical tools they will need to lead their congregations in faithfully responding to this moral imperative.
