Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III – Ecology

As one of the most senior Orthodox Christian leaders in the Holy Land, what does the Patriarch of Jerusalem have to say about ecological responsibility? Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III addresses this question at the Interfaith Climate and Energy Conference in Jerusalem, co-organized by the Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development. In this talk, Patriarch Theophilos III shares his perspective on ecology, drawing on his significant position within Orthodox Christianity and his deep connection to Jerusalem — a city central to multiple faith traditions — to explore the theological and moral dimensions of environmental stewardship.
His remarks add an authoritative Orthodox Christian voice from within the Holy Land itself to the conference’s broader interfaith dialogue on ecology, reinforcing the significance of Jerusalem as a meeting point for diverse religious perspectives on environmental responsibility.
