We face an environmental crisis of greater proportions than any generation before us and we desperately need to find ways to respond to this crisis.

Twelve Steps Towards Freedom: Presence

July 16, 2020 March 1, 2021

For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose …

Environmental Ethics: Comparing Two Introductions

July 8, 2020 February 23, 2021

It is not often that one gets the chance to compare two books looking at the same topic. And even less often were you one of the authors! My wife Margot and I published a Grove booklet “An Introduction to Environmental Ethics” in 2017. We were really aiming at a …

Colder temps at the start of 2021 are related to the current La Nina event. We can use the first three months of the year and projected ENSO state to estimate where 2021 annual temperatures will end up. Uncertainties are large, but best estimate is roughly tied for 5th warmest.

Well done, Ripon College Cuddesdon! We are particularly pleased as they have hosted the Christian Rural and Environmental Studies (CRES) course, which we run jointly with A Rocha UK, for the last 15 years. Onwards to silver and gold!!We are delighted to announce that Cuddesdon has been awarded a Bronze Eco-Church Award by A Rocha! 🎉The award was achieved across five areas: worship and teaching; management of buildings; management of land; community and global engagement; and lifestyle. The College scored particularly highly in the area of worship and teaching (gold award level), and will continue striving to demonstrate that the gospel is good news for God’s earth. We will be aspiring to move on to a higher overall award and to addressing the challenges of developing a richly contextualised ethically responsible ethos appropriate to our dispersed and complex life. ...
