Ritualizing Environmental Change, Rethinking Religion

The GTU, in collaboration with the Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study of UC Berkeley, is pleased to announce a three-day long workshop on environmental change and ritualized relationships with the other-than-human world. Jointly funded by REDO, a University of Oslo research network sponsored by the Norwegian Research Council, and co-hosted by UC Berkeley, the workshop explores some of the new ontologies that have been developed in the social sciences over the past two decades, which are revising and revisiting animism, materialism, and religion in new and original ways.

PLTS Founders Day Celebration

The 2016 Founders Day lecture at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary will feature PLTS's Ted Peters and astronomer Dr. Pamela Gay of Southern Illinois University speaking on, "Taking a Cosmic Perspective: Expanding God into the Expanding Creation: A Dialogue Between a Scientist and a Theologian.”

GTU students may attend for half-price [only $10] (which includes lunch from Sunrise Catering).

Other GTU personnel may attend as well, registering as ‘General.’

PLTS Luther Lecture with Cynthia Moe-Lobeda

Cynthia Moe-Lobeda Speaks on "Climate Justice, Hope, and a Lutheran Ethic of Love Incarnate"
 
Humankind stands at a turning point in history. Either we continue on a fast track toward climate disaster or we harness human genius and creativity to forge a sustainable relationship between the human species and our planetary home. The moral challenge is heightened by matters of climate justice: those most vulnerable to the ravages of climate change are also the people least responsible for it.
