Apr 14: Faithful to the Future: A Prophetic Partnering of Religion & Science

April 14, 2019 by Fawn Smith

With special guest, Rev. Michael Dowd!

Given our impact on Earth’s climate, the seas, and other species, humanity is about to experience what could be called “The Great Reckoning.” The good news is that this may also be “The Great Homecoming: the prodigal species coming home to Reality.” Science and religion cannot be enemies if we hope to avoid extinction.

Henceforth, any religious and scientific actions we take as individuals and societies will be done in the new light of climate change and ecological overshoot. What vision can carry us forward and inspire us to work together? How shall we frame the need to shed our business-as-usual outlook on life and take on a new vision that can unite us in joyful self-sacrifice and service? What vision will charge us with a sense of heroic purpose?
