Some Exciting News from the Yale

Hey guys and gals! It's been a while since anyone has posted, and I was hoping to invigorate the blog a little bit with some exciting news.



1.) First, I wanted to Invite you all to participate in the Renewing Hope Conference on Faith and Environment at Yale. The event (February 28-March 2) is cosponsored by Yale Divinity and Yale Forestry and will utilize the Divinity facilities.



For information about events, conference speakers/guests, dates, and logistics, consult the following websites:

2.) Second, I am excited to report the publication of a new book which will doubtlessly play an important role in discussions of Christian theology and ecology for years to come. The book, Ecologies of Grace, is written by my professor, Willis Jenkins. He engages Karl Barth, Thomas Aquinas, and Sergei Bulgakov--master theologians from all 3 major branches of Christianity--and puts them in a well-read and -considered dialogue with theories in environmental philosophy and ethics. If you have an interest in ways that serious systematic theology can engage with environmental concerns, this is the book for you.

I hope to hear from you all soon!
