Green Theology Course – Interesting Links for Reading
There were a few links I wanted to share from the Green Theology course a few weeks ago.
Mike Hogue’s column in Tikkun Magazine.
The Science of Why We Don’t Believe in Science: How Our Brains fool us on Climate Change, Creationism, and the Vaccine-Autism link. By Chris Mooney in Mother Jones Magazine from April 18, 2011. Gives empirical evidence why the facts are not enough for some individuals.
An article by Dr. Klaus Toepfer recommended by Mike Hogue titled “Nature’s Capital. The Key to Poverty Eradication.”
A supplemental reading that we shared in the Saturday afternoon class from James K. A. Baker’s “Desiring the Kingdom – Worship, Worldview, and Cultural Formation.“ Scroll down in the document to Page 9 (Page 19 in the corner of the document), where Baker discusses a bit of a riddle called “Making the Familiar Strange: A Phenomenology of Cultural Liturgies.“ See if you can figure out the riddle before he ultimately gives the answer. ;-)
The course wrapped up with a tremendous amount of food for thought and a desire to turn ethos into moral choices and action. If you have other ideas to share, let’s keep the conversation going in the comments section of this site.
