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.
