Can We Update Religion for the Anthropocene? | Philip Clayton

CTNS Public forum with Dr. Philip Clayton

Hybrid Event - Dinner Board Room, Graduate Theological Union & Zoom (Registration Required)
3:30 pm - 5:00 pm, Feb 16, 2024

The scientific case for the Anthropocene has recently been established: humans are now the dominant geological force on the planet. One might expect the world’s religions (and their theologians) to be the most vocal in calling for action. Instead, in many countries they are at the forefront of climate change denial. This talk explores how theology and spirituality can be updated to guide our thought and action through the Anthropocene. The resources are there in our traditions; it’s not hard to update and employ them more effectively.

This event is sponsored by the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (CTNS) at the Graduate Theological Union.
