IBTS

Eco-Crisis and the Gospel Course

Coming Soon

EXPRESS INTEREST

This course will explore how Christians can respond to the current multiple ecological crises, no matter who and where they are. You will acquire biblical, theological, and ecological resources for reshaping your understanding of discipleship and attend to concrete practices that may bear witness to Jesus Christ and form lives properly aligned with God’s redemption of creation.

As part of the IBTS Learning Network, this course seeks to serve the churches, organisations, and people of the European Baptist Federation, BMS World Mission and Canadian Baptist Ministries.

“The earth on which we live groans more and more in the midst of the multiple ecological crises that dishonour the Creator and threaten life on Earth. How can we as God’s people respond with faithful witness in word and deed? How can we learn to discover again the creation as God’s good gift?”

The primary aims of the course are

Developing a biblical, theological vision for living repentantly, humbly, joyfully, and wisely in God’s good world.

Learning to communicate the dimensions and interconnections of the world we live in and a biblically grounded call to action in the midst of those crises.

Learning to bear witness to the good news of Jesus Christ for all creation, even in a time of changing climate and multiple crises, and contribute to the church’s witness.

Developing habits and virtues of faithfulness, such as lament, humility, simplicity, meekness, and hope, that join God’s call to repentance in word and deed, and call others to those same habits.

Discern how best to integrate all of the above into the unfolding vocation to which each participant is called.
