What is “Eco-Theology?" (Rev. Dr. Neddy Astudillo)
Rev. Dr. Neddy Astudillo is guest editor of our Spring 2023 edition, Eco-Teología / Eco-Theology: Latin-American perspectives on Creation Care. A Presbyterian pastor with a PhD in Greening the Church, co-founder of the Angelic Organics Learning Center, coordinator of the Climate Justice and Faith Spanish program at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, and more. Rev. Astudillo teaches in Guatemala, Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, the USA and Venezuela, is published widely, and is a co-author of the National Council of Churches declaration, God’s Earth is Sacred, and the book, God’s Earth is Sacred: Essays on Eco-Justice.
In this podcast, she explores the meaning of eco-theology. What does it mean to see our relationship to the Earth, to each other and to God through this lens? How does eco-theology dialogue with Science, Church history, and Scripture to seek solutions to the environmental and climate crises? Rev. Astudillo points to three, biblical, eco-theologies that come to our rescue and harness the power of faith communities.
