In the past decade, we’ve seen a global shift towards environmental sustainability, nature conservation, and a rising generation of young people who wish to live in a more sustainable world. How should Christians respond in such a time? Should, and if so, how, can the Church address and lead in the push for sustainable development in a devastated world? Does caring for creation have anything to do with the gospel?

The Creation Care Conference was a two-day event held on 9 – 10 September 2022 to mark the start of the Season of Creation and provide a meeting place for Christians to learn about creation care and find opportunities for collaboration.

Our theme for the conference was “The Garden of Eden” to remind us of our role as stewards of God’s creation, reflect the conference’s role as a gathering place, and point to the future restoration of all creation.

Over the 2 days, more than 130 people gathered to learn and share alongside each other over a keynote, plenary, and 14 workshops from practitioners, pastors, and theologians.

The next conference should take place in 2024 or 2025.
