Ecology and Religion

Join SiVIC and speakers from the ING Speakers’ Bureau for a panel discussion on Ecology and Religion. (Note change from previously announced topic.)

Environmental degradation and climate change have become major global concerns that threaten human existence on this planet. While environmental issues are a new concern in the form they present themselves today, religious traditions have long addressed the question of how humanity relates to and interacts with the environment. This panel highlights each religion’s teachings about conservation and environmental preservation.
