How do we as Christians begin to grapple with make and sense of climate change and its impact?
What are our responsibilities to those who are most impacted (e.g. Pasifika peoples, many in rural areas, poorer communities, wildlife?)
How do we begin to understand and unravel the patterns and logics that have led to this crisis (e.g. colonialism, whiteness, neoliberalism)?
This subject will draw upon a range of theological and other sources to engage with the complex challenges of climate change.
