Christianity and the Ecological Crisis: Lament, Hope, Action

A Rocha Aotearoa-New Zealand, Caritas, and The Centre for Theology and Public Issues (University of Otago) are excited to be jointly hosting this ecumenical conference on Christianity and the Ecological Crisis. The weekend conference is an opportunity to join with others motivated by their Christian faith who seek to respond to issues of ecological degradation and injustice. Stories of community conservation and ecological restoration – sharing of our hopes and experiences of lament and love, justice and joy, from our backyards, neighbourhoods, forests, oceans, & even the kitchen sink! Featuring stimulating speakers, informative workshops, fieldtrips and great kai. (Also an opportunity to celebrate A Rocha Aotearoa New Zealand's 5th Birthday!) Come along and be inspired, restored, transformed!
