Toward a Climate of Respect: Craddock Lecture 2010
This year’s Craddock Lecture at Bloor Street United Church will be given by Stephen Scharper, Professor of Environmental Ethics at the Centre for Environment, University of Toronto. Professor Scharper’s lecture will form part of the 10:30 service on Sunday September 26. Following the service, Professor Scharper will lead a lunchtime seminar in the Upper Club Room.
Professor Scharper is a renowned and tireless spokesman for a faithful ethical Christian response to environmental issues. Much in demand as an inspirational public speaker, he is author of Redeeming the Time: A Political Theology of the Environment (1997), and co-author with Hilary Cunningham of The Green Bible (2002). His Faith and Ethics columns appear regularly in The Toronto Star. Stephen Scharper’s contribution to our learning and worship, under the title “Toward a Climate of Respect: Creation and the Human Vocation,” promises to address and inspire our weekly commitment to live with respect in Creation.
To help us plan for lunch, those intending to continue on to the seminar are asked to leave their name and a contact number with Rev. Martha ter Kuile at 416-924-7439 ext 44. If necessary, numbers may have to be limited.
