Hosted by Lee Barford
Dates: 23 November & 7 December 2024
Time: 6 PM London | 1 PM EST | 10 AM PST
Humanity is called to be stewards of the Earth, not rulers. Over the past 200 years,
technology has enhanced human flourishing but at great environmental cost.
This two-part event explores the interplay of theology, environmental science, and
technology to address how humanity can reduce its environmental impact while
continuing to thrive. Our panelists will discuss key questions such as
– Can technology help reduce our environmental footprint?
– What can we expect from the already irreversible impacts of our past choices?
– How does our Christian duty to care for the Earth fit into our faith and practice?
– What more can we do?

The Genesis Distortion: agnosticism and creation
SYNOPSIS: We engage in the so-called “culture wars” on an entirely mistaken premise; that there is one Biblical creation account “The Biblical Creation story”, and it is found in the first couple of chapters in Genesis. On that false assumption, a vast inverted pyramid of doctrine is balanced. There are at least seven vastly different Biblical creation accounts in the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament, as some still call it). In today’s brief presentation and discussion, we shall examine perhaps three of them, and see how our teaching has been skewed by the Genesis distortion.
