Manage episode 438535461 series 8232
In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Samuel Davidson to explore an ecological vision for the church through the integration of deep ecology and deep ecclesiology. The discussion highlights Davidson's work on constructing an ecological theology that aligns Christian orthodoxy with modern environmental insights, aiming to evolve a theological understanding of the church in light of ecological interconnectedness. The conversation covers practical steps for congregations to engage in ecological renewal, including sustainable gardening practices such as planting native grasses to support local ecosystems. Additionally, Davidson introduces a seminar series on eco-theology, featuring readings, lectures, and discussions designed to foster community and communicate ecological responsibility.
