Climate Aware Pastoral Care - Seminar

There is a rising tide of distress in our world. Mostly it sits under the surface of our normal conversations and daily lives, but it bursts through. A child may weep for the dolphins. A young person may declare that the planet is f#*d so there's no point in going to school. 
Global warming (and all the other damage to our environment) has massive impacts on people. But to look at the church in Aotearoa you wouldn't spot much pastoral response. We are terribly good at ignoring climate and focusing on heaven. I passionately believe that our Father in Heaven longs to comfort and connect with people no matter where they're at. So I believe that an awareness of climate change is a vital component of pastoral care and evangelism in 2024. 
I would go so far as to say that feeling distressed about God's creation is a healthy thing. We who follow Jesus seek to live from the heart of God, and God's world is hurting. 

I invite you talk this over with me on Monday 29 April.
