There is no stronger advocate in our community for the environment and for the people than the Reverand Dr. Leah Schade. The Susquehanna Valley Progressives is pleased to co-sponsor (along with the Rivertown Coalition) the Launch of Dr. Schade’s new book, Creation-Crisis Preaching. The Launch event will take place September 13th from 2:00 – 4:30 pm at the Barnes & Noble Book Store in Lewisburg.
About the Book:
How can we proclaim justice for God’s Creation in the face of global warming? How does fracking fit with “the earth and its fullness are the Lord’s?” Creation-Crisis Preaching works with the premise that all of Creation, including humankind, needs to hear the Good News of Jesus’ resurrection in this age in which humanity is “crucifying” Creation. Informed by years of experience as an environmental activist and minister, Leah Schade equips preachers to interpret the Bible through a “green” lens, become rooted in environmental theology, and learn how to understand their preaching context in terms of the particular political, cultural, and biotic setting of their congregation. Creation-Crisis Preaching provides both theoretical grounding and practical tips for preachers to create environmental sermons that are relevant, courageous, creative, pastoral, and inspiring.
