“This series is on Creation Care, a critically important aspect for the global church and mission. Stewardship of God’s creation (creation care) is a clear biblical command and an integral part of what it means to follow Jesus as Lord. And if Jesus is Lord of all the earth, we cannot separate our relationship to Christ from how we act in relation to the earth. For to proclaim the gospel that says ‘Jesus is Lord’ is to proclaim the gospel that includes the earth, since Christ’s Lordship is over all creation. Creation care is thus a gospel issue within the Lordship of Christ.” But that’s not all: God’s creation is in the midst of a crisis that is ‘pressing, urgent, and that must be resolved in our generation. This crisis, of which climate change and massive biodiversity loss are just a part, represents an existential threat to the future of human society.” (Extract from the course).
The course covers biblical references and personal beliefs/stories from Arocha staff in the UK and South Africa and challenges us to bring God’s message of hope and healing to our divided world.
