faculty, and
professionals

Christians involved in the various disciplines of the environmental sciences, policy, and management face challenging questions: How do we define responsible care? How can we find congruence between an urban lifestyle and our stated environmental values? How might a Christian worldview complement or contradict the ultimate objectives of governmental and non-governmental environmental-stewardship institutions? How can we learn more both within and without the Christian community to develop our careers in environmental management? What does Christ have to say about our motivations, attitudes, and actions with respect to natural resources?

Delegates in the Environmental Studies & Natural Resources track will be challenged with foundational theological issues regarding covenant obedience, the created order, and our call as Christians to be agents of transformation within a complex world. Guest presenters with considerable experience in forming community and governmental partnerships will discuss how Christians can be involved in creating lasting, positive social change regarding environmental issues. Delegates, working together with track facilitators, will be given an opportunity to develop plans to address targeted environmental issues within their own regional or professional communities.
