The 2015 Pastors & Church Leaders Conference
Holy Ground: Answering God’s Call to Creation Care
Date: May 5-8, 2015
Ed Brown (Lausanne Movement; pastor, author), Leah Kostamo (A Rocha Canada), Peter Harris (A Rocha International), Katherine Hayhoe (Texas Tech University), Terry LeBlanc (North American Institute for Indigenous Theological Studies), Jonathan Moo (Whitworth University), Loren Wilkinson (Regent College), Jonathan Wilson (Carey Theological College), and Chris Wright (Langham Partnership).
The 2015 Regent College Pastors & Church Leaders Conference explores the biblical call to care for God’s creation through theological reflection and engagement with its practical expressions. More than just a current trend, creation care goes back to Genesis, honours Christ’s Lordship, and forms a vital part of Christian discipleship. This conference seeks to inspire a Christian imagination in pastors and churchgoers for earthkeeping practices that God’s people can incorporate into personal and congregational life. The conference is co-sponsored by A Rocha Canada, a Christian organization which engages in scientific research, environmental education, and community-based conservation projects.
The ground and all of Creation is Holy and now this truth is rising to the top of the list of social justice priorities. I am so thankful that our leaders at Regent and A Rocha have planned this important event. I am praying for a full house and standing room only!
