This seminar will introduce the participants to the rich scope of religious environmentalism. It will consist of: a brief survey of the history of the religious environmental movement from its beginnings over forty years ago; an overview of traditional Jewish and Christian views on the God/human/natural world relationship; the viewing of part of a new documentary, Renewal, which features a number of faith communities acting out their commitments to the earth; and specific steps your home congregation can begin taking to protect the earth. This seminar is particularly geared to religious educators, religious leaders and religious leaders-in-training. However, all interested parties are welcome to attend. Led by: Rabbi Lawrence Troster, Director, Fellowship Program GreenFaith, and Beth Norcross, Coordinator, Green Seminary Initiative and Adjunct Faculty, Wesley Seminary Please direct questions to Beth Norcross at BethNorcross1@aol.com or Larwrence Troster at rabbiltroster@greenfaith.org. | ||
