Lecture Abstract:

We all know that our planet is enduring a range of ecological crises. How should Christians respond? What liturgical, theological, and mystical resources does the church possess that can equip Christians to advocate for the Earth in this time of crisis?

Dr. Jacob Abell explores some answers to these questions by casting our gaze back to the Middle Ages. Invoking a range of figures from Late Antiquity through the dawn of the Renaissance, we will explore how medieval cultures inspire diverse forms of Christian environmental advocacy in our own time.
