On Sunday, June 15, Creation Care Pagosa will welcome Dr. Ben Lowe, executive director of A Rocha USA (https://arocha.us/meet-ben-lowe), and author of “Green Revolution: Coming Together to Care for Creation.”
Lowe will be presenting a special program on “Environmental Stewardship Through the Eyes of Faith.”
His talk will take place at 6 p.m. in the fellowship hall of the Community United Methodist Church (CUMC), 434 Lewis St.
As a researcher and published author, Lowe’s work spans continents and disciplines, from studying how fishing communities in East Africa adapt to ecological decline, to examining shifts in evangelical attitudes toward climate change here in the U.S.
In his own words, “Much of conservation involves understanding and managing people — our values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Most of my ongoing research is focused on religious and ethical dimensions of environmental conservation.”
A Rocha is an international, Christian-based organization supporting conservation projects world-wide to promote the well-being of the environment and all people who depend upon creation for sustenance.
Whether you are deeply involved in environmental work or just beginning to explore how faith connects with environmental stewardship, this is an evening you won’t want to miss.
A dessert pot luck will follow Lowe’s program, so please consider bringing your favorite dessert to share. If you have questions, please email the CUMC at secretary@cumcps.ccsend.com or Herb Grover at hgroverco@gmail.com.
