by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
The concealments of carbon markets and the publicity of love in a time of climate change It was first proposed by John Tyndall in 1859 that greenhouse gases – and especially carbon dioxide – play a role in regulating the diurnal temperature of the earth. In 1938 G. S. Callendar a…

by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Recovering moral agency in a global neighbourhood Contemporary globalization links people and places thousands of miles apart in a myriad daily exchanges of goods, including food, drink, clothing and energy resources. The governance of these spatially distant exchange relationshi…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 1b Responsibility for creation
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Responsibility for creation It is a rather different reading of the biblical tradition from that often (lazily) assumed to be the orthodoxy of Judaeo-Christian belief. We hear regularly that this tradition authorizes the exploitation of the earth through the language in Genesis a…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 8 Apocalypse now: Global equity and sustainable living – the preconditions for human survival
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Apocalypse now: Global equity and sustainable living – the preconditions for human survival I have taken the theme of apocalypse quite deliberately. People accuse those who are worried about the state of our world of talking apocalyptically and spreading gloom and doom, and I thi…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 7e Competing public issues
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Competing public issues The discussion on voice is linked into maintaining a profile for the issue at stake. What sets this particular discourse on climate change and the common good apart from those other issues and global flows is the extent to which it calls into question our …

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 7d From global flows to paradoxical umbrellas
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
From global flows to paradoxical umbrellas The temporal and spatial nature of the debates concerning climate change and its likely consequences effectively means that this theme is a theological global flow. That label is most closely associated with the work of Robert Schreiter,…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 7 Exploring a public theology for here on earth
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Exploring a public theology for here on earth The very nature of a public theology is to engage with occasional issues which grab the public concern and require immediate and/ or long-term attention. The common practice is to argue that the purpose of a public theology is to nurt…

by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
By way of example… There is plentiful scope for this theme of climate change and the common good to become the equivalent of a case study once its theological legitimacy is established. For it to perform this kind of task there should be some criteria for evaluation…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 4b The effect of climate change in Antarctica
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
The effect of climate change in Antarctica All the climate models show quite clearly that regions warm at different rates. Polar regions show the greatest rises and the biggest consequences. And the changes are not all in the future. During my five-week voyage along the Antarctic…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 5 Disturbing the present
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Disturbing the present* A friend wrote in a letter to me at New Year 2009 that ‘Today is arguably the first day of the most important year in human history.’ And I agreed. The reason for this is the unique nature of climate change as a human problem that will be dealt with at Cop…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 5c Guiding principles for environmental and economic sustainability
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Guiding principles for environmental and economic sustainability There are two guiding principles that seem to me to be self-evident. First, don’t use natural resources faster than they can be replenished by the planet. Second, don’t deposit wastes faster than they can be absorbe…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 5d Carbon stabilization and economic development
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Carbon stabilization and economic development There is one elephant in the room that I want to touch on before concluding and that is economic growth. Our leaders, in public at least, accept two imperatives – carbon stabilization and continuing economic development…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 5b The urgency of dealing with climate change at the global level
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
The urgency of dealing with climate change at the global level Climate change is not a discrete issue to be addressed apart from all the others. The global economy fundamentally drives climate change, and economic strategies will need to be revised if the climate is ever to be st…
