With its size and its collective power, evangelical Christianity has had a significant presence in the political, cultural, and religious landscape of the United States.
As such, it becomes critically important to understand evangelical Christianity today in relationship to the climate crisis. How do evangelical Christians regard the climate crisis? What are the political implications of this?
To address these questions, we will be joined by a panel of speakers who will give attention to the trends as well as the diverse perspectives to be found within evangelical Christianity.
Among the speakers will be:
–Dr. Robin Veldman, author of “The Gospel of Climate Skepticism: Why Evangelical Christians Oppose Action on Climate Change
–Rev. Kyle Meyaard-Schaap, Vice President, Evangelical Environmental Network
–Emily Robertson, Climate Leadership Fellow for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action
This webinar is co-hosted by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt of the United Church of Christ Environmental Justice Ministry and the Rev. Michael Malcom of Alabama Interfaith Power & Light and the People’s Justice Council.
