Planet Earth – our home – is under urgent threat from multiple ecological crises, including climate change and biodiversity loss.
This day course will explore the challenge these ecological crises present to the church and individual Christians, in conjunction with an exciting and provocative art installation “Our Earth” at Salisbury Cathedral. We will tour the exhibition with the curator, grapple with eco-theology and reflect on the role that art can play in provoking and inspiring us to act.
