The Spirituality of Ecojustice
Saturday, September 5, 2009, 9:45 am to 12:30 pm at
Christ Church Cathedral (Georgia and Burrard)
In downtown Vancouver

"I have become convinced that the developing concept of ecojustice can be a way forward, beyond the false dichotomy of social justice vs. ecological justice, as long as it is understood as a term that can include both human suffering an the groaning of the Earth."
Dr. Christopher Lind

 
 
You are invited to join Dr. Christopher Lind to explore the spirituality of ecojustice and how Christians can express and act on our faith valuing the earth as God's sacred creation.  Dr. Lind will make a presentation on this subject followed by time for group discussion and interaction.
