San Diego School of Christian Studies invites you to come and hear our expert guest: Professor Peter Bolland, Philosophy and Humanities Department Chair at Southwestern College
About the Topic:
If the core Christian message is radical care for all who suffer, and not merely personal salvation, then what happens when we expand the meaning of “neighbor” to include all creation – the plants and animals, and biosphere that supports them? In the face of our current climate crisis, we are challenged more urgently than ever – do our religious ideologies draw our attention to the hereafter, or to the here and now? How might Christianity contribute to the crucial work of natural restoration? What good is caring for others if we do not also care for the world that sustains all of our lives?
