Event Description
In this presentation, Jim Blackburn will offer a summary of the evolution of modern Christian thinking on
the environment from both the Old and New Testaments as well as his own views of Earth-based
spirituality to find the common elements as well as some of the differences. This presentation will be
informed by the book Earth Church by Blackburn and artist Isabelle Scurry Chapman as well as two
chapters in a forthcoming book on The Future of the Texas Coast currently under review by Texas A&M
Press. Both of these lines of thinking elevate the importance of stewardship and celebration of the Earth
which is the centerpiece of both the religious and the secular viewpoints. All attendees will get a link to
a free copy of Earth Church. Print copies available by special arrangement only. Time for interactive
discussion with the speaker will be provided. Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com at
