Description
Is it inevitable that caring for people conflicts with the care of the non-human creation? Does Christ's call to love our neighbours marginalize all concern for plants and animals, air and water? Paul observed in Romans that the groaning of people and the groaning of the earth often go hand-in-hand in our broken world. The prophet Hosea explicitly links humankind's rejection of God to both social and ecological oppression and injustice. This conference explores three aspects of these interrelated issues of justice. Lectures include:
- The Land is Mine and You Are Only Tenants (Leviticus 25:23) - Iain Provan
- Earth-Keeping and People-Keeping in the Old Testament - Iain Provan
- Social (In)Justice and its Earthly Entailments: Insight from the Prophetic Tradition - Dave Diewert
- Justice, Earth, and Heaven According to the Beatitudes - Alfredo Abreu
- The Word, Conversation, and a Human Face: An African Perspective - Stella Simiyu
- Connecting Up - Peter Harris
- Questions and Answers / Roundtable Discussion
