Christianity and the Ecozoic Era
Michael Morwood
If we listen and observe from the Universe in which we live today, what might we learn about the mystery we call "God?" What are we Christians challenged to move to in our thinking and practice as we become more conscious that everything and everyone is the revelation of the Divine?
Michael Morwood has over 30 years experience in retreat, education, parish and youth ministries in Australia. He is interested in helping Christians articulate faith in Jesus in ways that resonate with contemporary understanding of our place in the universe. Click here to learn more about Michael.
