The course will cover the following topics:
1. Christians and the Environment. Why should we care? Talking creation care with your congregation.
2. Holiness Theology and Creation. What does sanctification have to do with this? Connecting theological dots, connecting our hearts and our hands.
3. Climate Change and the Church. What is climate change and can we really know? Understanding your faith’s relationship with your footprint.
4. Inequality and Creation Care. How does this affect my neighbor? Unpacking environmental racism and the role of the church.
5. The Eating Church. How does what we consume change the world? Looking at the relationship between agriculture, food, and the Kingdom of God.
6. On Earth as it is in Heaven. What can we really do? What should we do? A closing dialogue on the role of the local church and a groaning creation.
Webinars led by Rev. Caleb Cray Haynes, Director of Nazarenes for Creation Care and other special guest speakers.
