Climate Change

Perhaps the biggest challenge facing us over the coming years is how to best respond to Climate Change. A recent report by the UN’s IPCC has said that “it is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land. Widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and biosphere have occurred and that the scale of recent changes are unprecedented over many thousands of years.”

How we respond to this challenge, both individually and as a church, is a reflection of our theology in this area, but what is our environmental theology? What does the Bible have to say on the matter? Is the world we live on important to God, and what can we learn from church history about how we should care for creation. Is there more we could, or should, be doing? How do we rescue the earth without worshipping nature?
