Episode 021 – Christianity and Ecology
1
Hey! Thanks for tuning in to episode 21. We talk about the concept of being a “Green Christian”. We also discuss the ways the Chrisitian faith has been a stumbling block to ecological concerns? Is this a result of core tenets of the faith, or because of misuse of the Christian name/bad interpretations of Christian texts?
Here’s some show notes:
In Genesis the word till is Hebrew for “serve”.
