CHARLOTTE — An upcoming conference at St. Peter Church in Uptown Charlotte will explore the link between faith and caring for God’s creation while also sharing scientific perspectives on climate change.
“Bridging Faith and Science: Spiritual Insights and Climate Change Conversations” will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 9. Speakers will include Kathleen Biggins of C-Change Conversations, based in Princeton, New Jersey, and eco-theologian Dr. Catherine Wright, who will share insights on putting spirituality into action through engaging in conversations about our climate.
The event follows initiatives discussed at the Creation Care Conference, “Walking With the Spirit in the World,” which was held Feb. 8 in Belmont. Dr. Wright was also one of the speakers at that event, along with Bishop Michael Martin.
The event is sponsored by St. Peter’s Care for Creation Ministry.
