Like a number of the radical movements of the 1960s and 70s, environmentalism is now a normal and mainstream part of our culture. Our kids learn it from kindergarten.

But how should we think about environmentalism as Christians? Do we need to save the planet? Is the future of our world at stake?

As Christians, we need to answer these questions by asking the other question we should always ask: what does the Bible say about this? Does God care about the world and what we do with it? Is God green?

Moore College lecturer Lionel Windsor has recently written a book called “Is God Green?”, and in this CCL event, he’ll introduce us to what the Bible says about the environment, where the world is headed, and what we should do about it in the here and now.

Speaker:

Lionel Windsor teaches New Testament, Greek and Hebrew at Moore College.

Pastor Ed Shaw of Emmanuel Church Bristol, UK, experiences same-sex attraction and is committed to Scripture and the biblical teaching of fidelity in heterosexual marriage and celibacy in singleness.

Ed will share his experience in dealing with these issues, and show us that obedience to Jesus is ultimately the only way to experience life to the full. He’ll demonstrate that the Bible’s teaching seems unreasonable not because of its difficulties, but because of missteps that society and the church have taken in their understanding of the Christian life.

This is a joint event with Liberty Christian Ministries and the Centre for Christian Living at Moore Theological College.

Speaker:

Ed Shaw is pastor of Emmanuel Church Bristol, UK, and one of the founders of www.livingout.org.
