The Sea of
Faith Network and Climate Change
The Sea of Faith
Network is an association of people who have a common
interest in exploring religious thought and expression from
a non-dogmatic and human-oriented standpoint.
Their
2008 Annual Conference, to be held in Blenheim from
September 26 to 28 will discuss the religious implications
of climate change. The Conference theme is “The Ecological
Imperative” which recognises that the earth is sacred,
vulnerable and capable of „retaliation‟ towards
humankind. It goes on to ask “Is Tomorrow‟s God Gaia?”
in recognition of the cautionary appraisal of the fate of
humankind made by the British scientist, James Lovelock.
The main speakers are: New Zealand's best-known
theologian Prof. Lloyd Geering ONZ; Dr. Carolyn King, Dept.
of Philosophy at Waikato University; and the acclaimed New
Zealand photographer Craig Potton.
