Environment

Tuesday, 15 June 2010 09:54

Many people have heard one side of this issue without the chance to properly assess the other side. That's why July's Clearing the Air forum has been organised.

This forum is being convened by Glyn Carpenter, National Director, New Zealand Christian Network (visionnetwork), and Associate Professor Jonathan Leaver, Unitec Institute of Technology, and brings together those who sit on either side of the climate-change debate.

The forum will present well-known speakers, such as Ian Wishart (author of Air Con), Jonathan Boston (Director of the Institute of Policy Studies, Victoria University), Ralph Sims (Director, Centre for Energy Research, Massey University), and others who are also experts in their fields. Topics will include Epistemology; Creation mandate; What position can be reasonably supported by the science; and What can and should we do?

Church leaders attending the forum will draft a position statement on the issue.

The event is open to pastors, students, and other interested parties.

The forum starts on Friday afternoon 16 July and continues on Saturday morning 17 July.
