“Beyond Creation Care: Regenerative Faith Practices for Earth’s Healing”

The ecological crisis calls for people of faith to go beyond caring for creation toward a regenerative relationship with the rest of creation that is integrated into our daily practices and congregational lives. What might such regeneration – such conversion, reformation, justice, repair, healing, resilience – look like in your context? Amid the environmental trauma and grief affecting the whole earth community, we are sustained by the Spirit of Christ’s resurrection through which God is making all things new.

The Rev. Dr. David Carlson is pastor of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Duluth, MN and co-chair of the Northeastern MN Synod EcoFaith Network. Originally from Denver, CO, he holds theological degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary, the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, and Luther Seminary. “Earth Stewardship and the Missio Dei: Participating in the Care and Redemption of All God Has Made” is the title of his Doctor of Ministry thesis, which he defended in 2016. Pastor Dave believes the church is well suited to help society address ecological needs and the problems of climate change, and that congregations are ideal settings for modeling the kind of earth stewardship needed for a more sustainable world.Thehe
