Why Emerging Clergy Must Address the Ecological Crisis

The New York City Faith & Ecology Seminary Education Conference in December 2016 engaged seminary deans and faculty to explore ways of integrating faith and ecology into their theology curriculums so that emerging clergy can speak to the ecological crisis. The full-day event took place at Union Theological Seminary in Manhattan, and was co-organized by The Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development, the Center for Earth Ethics of Union Theological Seminary; the Milstein Center for Interreligious Dialogue at Jewish Theological Seminary; and the Green Seminary Initiative. The conference offered tools to enable administrators and faculty members from theological schools, divinity schools, and seminaries to better educate students on ecology issues from the perspective of different faith traditions.
