How to be a Christian Environmentalist without leaving home
The Christian environmentalist movement has come a long way since the 1970s when it emerged alongside pagan hippies advocating for a greener world. In fact, with the present realization of the deep theological roots of creation stewardship, there is no movement to join. Followers of Christ are environmentalists, whether they realise it or not. In this talk I will introduce your creation care calling by introducing you to Christians who have lead the way and mentored me in the process. I will feature a fellowship of Loren Wilkinson, Cal De Witt, Peter Harris, Sir Ghillian Prance, John Wood, Steven Bouma-Prediger, Markku Kostamo, Matthew Sleeth and Ben Lowe. Each has left an enduring mark on the Christian community and creation itself.

Dirk Buchner
Genesis from a historical perspective
God revealed His story of how he interacts with us humans, to a culture that He regarded as worthy of receiving it and capable of fully understanding it.
We who are alive today, need to be humble and recognize that those ancient Middle-Eastern people were able to see things in ways that we westerners are unable to because we are blind.
To illustrate this I want to draw attention to the pictorial art of ancient people and what they understood by the building blocks of the cosmos, and how their symbolic universe presupposed a depth of understanding that goes far beyond the purely descriptive.
I want to give the audience some resources in order to understand how the ancient mind and imagination worked, so that the Genesis narratives and the poetry of the Psalms, which we may call neither myth nor history, can function as they were intended to, also in our intellectual sphere
This seminar is on Feb 2nd. in Block Hall at 7:00pm.

Arnold Sikkema
>How Modern Astronomy impacts our view of creation
Psalm 8 accurately describes the response of many people, throughout the ages, to the beauty and vastness of space: "When I consider your heavens...what is man that you are mindful of him?" Modern astronomy can deepen our appreciation of both the creation and the Creator. What can we learn about the history and origin of the universe, and of ourselves, by the study of stars and galaxies? And how do evangelical, Bible-believing Christians respond to what we hear from the astrophysicists and cosmologists?
Speaking at 7:00pm
