The Idea of Nature public lecture series presents: A Webinar with Rev. Lydia Cook, Anglican Priest, Ottery St. Mary, England, “From Lament to Action: Why we should all engage with Eco-Church”

April 22 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm MDT

Rev. Cook will explore the theological, spiritual and practical role of Christian churches in the care of creation. She will look at what insights the Scriptures give to help navigate a Christian response to the environmental crisis we find ourselves living in and ask how we can (re)discover a spirituality of creation that speaks into people’s lives in a meaningful way, rebuilding connections with those of little faith or none. Finally Lydia will look at practical ways that churches can make a difference to their local community and environment through
the ARocha eco church scheme.

Registration is free and open to the public.
