“Amidst swirling debates about the environment, the overall sweep of the biblical narrative supports a rich understanding of humanity’s place in creation. Join us in worship, prayer, and study as we learn to root our role in creation in Jesus’s call to love and discipleship. In the process, engage with environmental history, explore the Mediterranean region, and examine some of the conservation and management challenges this area faces.”

Instructors

– Rikk Watts (Professor of New Testament, Regent College)
– Jean-François Mouhot (Director, Les Courmettes, A Rocha France)
– Chris Walley (Mediterranean Conservation Science Coordinator, A Rocha International)
