The Australian Council of Christians and Jews invites you to a web conference:

God's gamble with Creation and the greening of our theologies

Date: Sunday 5 July 2020 Time: 3pm
Location: online link will be provided when it becomes available

Speakers:

Rabbi Fred Morgan AM: Rabbi Morgan will highlight the threats to creation arising from human “domination” vs human “custodianship” of the created world - reflective of the stories of Creation in the Book of Genesis. The “gamble” has to do with God’s allow-ing humanity the freedom to understand creation in our own ways. It focuses attention on the thin line between manipulation and protection of nature.
Dr Emmanuel Nathan: Dr Nathan’s presentation will reflect on five years of Pope Francis’ Encyclical Letter Laudato Si and bring that into con-versation with the greening of theology.
