\"Luke <\/div>\n

Are Christians to blame for ecological crisis and climate change?<\/p>\n

Luke A. Gascho, executive director of the Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center of Goshen (IN) College, will reflect on that question in a presentation 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 6, in the Suter Science Center Auditorium. <\/p>\n

Dr. Gascho will explore how biblical faith and value systems call Christians back to a connection that strengthens understanding and practice of earth care. He will include a focus on the meaning of responsible stewardship with examples ranging from personal actions, to green buildings to efforts such as the Evangelical Climate Initiative and the Association of College and Universities Presidents Climate Commitment.

Gascho is a 1974 黑料正能量 graduate. He has been director of Merry Lea since 1997. <\/p>\n

The program is sponsored by the Shenandoah Anabaptist Science Society<\/a>. Admission is free. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
