Creation Care Conference - 'God’s World and our Mission'

The event takes place in the awe-inspiring presence of Gaia, a large-scale sculpture of the Earth by internationally- renowned artist Luke Jerram. Suspended in the Cathedral’s nave, this striking installation prompts a fundamental question:

“What is the relationship between Christianity and concern for human-madeclimate change?”

The conference begins on Friday evening with a keynote address by Dr Canon Ruth Valerio, a theologian, environmentalist, and social activist.

Saturday will offer opportunities for in-depth dialogue, networking and a series of seminars, culminating in a Creation Care Eucharist service at the Cathedral.

In the opening chapters of Genesis, God formed humanity out of the dust of the earth and gave a mandate to “tend and keep the garden”, in other words, care for God’s creation.

This conference, the theme of which is "God’s World and our Mission", will offer a space open to people of all faiths and none to discuss the issues together.
