An Ethical and Theological Perspective on Climate Change

Date: September 30, 2008 

Location: Kalispell, MT

Description:

Reverend John Lund, Director, ELCA Lutheran Campus Ministries, University of Montana

If we agree that the earth is warming due mostly to human carbon outputs, then what are the ethical questions that arise? If our actions or inactions will affect millions of people alive today and in the future, do we have any moral obligation? What will be our legacy to future generations?  Also, how does our theology and faith connect with this conversation? Is our theology focused on an other-worldly escapism, or is it grounded in the power of transformation and healing for this world?  What is our connection and relationship to the rest of creation?  Lets talk!

Location:  Flathead Valley Community College,777 Grandview Drive,  Kalispell, MT 59901

Time:  7:00 p.m.
