A Natural Balance ~ Christianity’s Contribution to the Global Ecological Conversation
Questions to ponder: Is climate change a consequence of human activity, part of the earth’s natural cyclical processes or perhaps both? How does deforestation, pollution, water scarcity and the loss of biodiversity affect our lives?
Class Description: This seven-week course explores the most pressing ecological questions of our time. Our primary goal is discovering how we respond to God’s call of caring for the earth. We will examine the issues from scientific, ethical and spiritual perspectives.
Each week you will receive a module containing informational videos, reading material and reflection questions that prepare us for a weekly conversation online.
