God and the Machine: God, Tech, and the Care of Creation

Please click HERE to register for the free webinar.

“The earth is the LORD’s and all that is in it.” (Psalm 24:1)

Humanity is called to be stewards of the Earth, not rulers. Over the past 200 years, technology has enhanced human flourishing but at great environmental cost. This two-part event explores the interplay of theology, environmental science, and technology to address how humanity can reduce its environmental impact while continuing to thrive.

Key Questions:

How does our Christian duty to care for the Earth fit into our faith and practice?
What can we expect from the already irreversible impacts of our past choices?
Can technology help reduce our environmental footprint?
What more can we do?
