Woke Bible Study: is God an environmentalist?

The Bible is, despite claims to the contrary, an environmentalist text, from the emphasis on the Divine love for – and Presence throughout – the universe, to the oft-repeated human responsibility to care for all of creation. We will learn how the Bible’s environmentalism can offer tools for engaging in the vital work of climate justice.

In this session, we will explore how this emphasis is often overlooked and ignored, including exploring the common misinterpretations of the Bible’s ecological teaching. Using Quaker theological and interpretive tools, you will be invited to consider how to integrate both Biblical environmentalism, and Quaker theology and spirituality, into own your work for climate justice.
