MIIS Lecture: Blue Theology

This event has already passed

MIIS's Hayward Sustainability Speaker Series presents a lecture by Reverend Deborah Streeter entitled Blue Theology: Can Faith Communities Be Effective and Trusted Partners with the Ocean Conservation Community?, on Tuesday, April 24, 6pm-7:30pm in MIIS's McGowan Building, Room 100.

In the very diverse religious landscape, many faith communities are actively involved in environmental stewardship and can be effective and trusted partners with secular conservation organizations. All world religions teach some version of human responsibility to be good stewards, encouraging “creation care” and a concern for “the least of these” that has led some faith communities to be leaders in the movement for environmental justice and calling out environmental racism. Rev. Deborah’s Streeter’s Blue Theology ministry moves the widespread movement to “green” religious communities into issues of ocean stewardship and spirituality

Rev. Deborah Streeter is authorized by the United Church of Christ to be “Minister for Blue Theology,” preaching and teaching about ocean spirituality and ocean stewardship. She encourages faith communities, environmental activist groups and science/education organizations to work together as trusted partners in caring for God’s wet and blue creation. She is a member of two churches: La Selva Community United Church of Christ and the Christian Church of Pacific Grove.
