The Environmental Crisis As A Spiritual and Theological Crisis—Moving From the Apocalyptic To Hope

In a series of keynote addresses, Pastor Andrew helps us prophetically address important questions facing our church and world:

1. How do we faithfully interpret and address difficult Biblical texts regarding the environment?
2. What role must the church and faith leaders play in addressing environmental problems and reimagining the role of responsible stewardship of creation?
3. What is happening with regards to America’s land, water and wildlife and what are we seeing in terms of U.S. policy impacts in these areas?
4. What role must churches play in shaping and challenging policy and why?
5. What can local congregations do right now to make a difference?
6. Why must congregations and faith leaders be at the forefront of bridging environmentalism and social justice and how do we stand with Tribal and frontline communities?

In addition to being the Associate Pastor of our church, Pastor Andrew is also the founder of EarthKeepers 360, a movement focused on equipping spiritual leaders with the tools needed to effectively engage modern environmental issues. A New Mexico native, Pastor Andrew witnessed first hand the healing nature of God’s creation while fishing the rivers of the west with his grandfathers, both WWII veterans. Pastor Andrew is currently a Commissioner to the Synod of the Southwest and is the National Wildlife Federation’s Public Lands Field Director.
