The 2022-23 Symposium Series in Human Needs and Global Resources invites us to explore the meaning of faithful decolonization and to consider how its practice can constructively shape our formation of Christian community and our work as followers of Jesus to build more just, equitable, and peaceful societies.
Join us on Thursday, March 23 for the Spring 2023 Human Needs and Global Resources Symposium Lecture and Intern Poster Session.
In this lecture and panel, Dr. Juskus and panelists considered two sets of concerns — climate change and colonization — in order to explore how they have been intertwined in Christian thought and practice, on the one hand, and how Christian communities might help to generate more promising pathways forward, on the other. Stated as a question, how might Christians who have benefited for so long from colonization and carbonization begin to decolonize and decarbonize our thought and practice?
