There is growing interest in how spiritual care providers can incorporate elements of the natural world into their work (sometimes called “eco-chaplaincy”), provide chaplaincy in the context of climate change, and otherwise acknowledge the spiritual implications of the present and future of our natural world. Join the Lab and leading thinkers on spiritual care and the environment as we explore this growing field of chaplaincy. Supplemental materials for further exploration can be found at the bottom of this description.
We are joined by:
Rabbi Katy Z Allen, BCC, founder and rabbi of Ma’yan Tikvah – A Wellspring of Hope
Rev. Alison Cornish, Program Consultant at The BTS Center
Rev. Stacy L. Grove, MDiv, Founder of HeartSpace Spiritual Resources
We thank The BTS Center for its support of this webinar. The BTS Center, located in Portland, Maine, is focused on spiritual leadership for a climate changed world. The BTS Center seeks to catalyze spiritual imagination, with enduring wisdom, for transformative faith leadership by offering theologically grounded programs of continuing education and spiritual formation, including workshops and retreats, learning cohorts, public conversations, and projects of applied research.
Inspired by the vision of human hearts renewed, justice established, and creation restored, we are focusing much of our programmatic attention on equipping faith leaders — ordained and non-ordained, clergy and laypersons, leaders of traditional religious communities and other communities of practice — with the knowledge, skills, mindsets, and practices that are needed for effective and faithful ministry in this moment marked by the dual urgencies of a changing religious landscape and a global climate crisis.
