Religion takes on global warming

“Going green” is the new hot trend, and some faith-based communities are joining the movement after years of denying the existence of global warming.

Nov. 12, John Hart, a professor of Christian ethics at Boston University School of Theology, will deliver his lecture “Melting Mountains, Burning Fields: Global Warming, Science and Religion” to educate the public about the effects of global warming and how religious faith is related. The lecture will take a look at Christian, Jewish, and Islamic perspective on global warming and the responsibility of humans for the impact it has had on the planet.

The free lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Atherton Union Reilly Room at Butler University.
