Creation as a Partner - Ecophilosophical Discussion

To what extent is the root cause of the ecological crisis the idea of humans being above the rest of nature and seeing the rest of nature merely as an object? How has the church been part of this problem, and how could it in the future also be part of the solution?

We will have an experimental and bold eco-philosophical and theological discussion, where we try together to envision a different language and relationship with the rest of nature. Author Anna Kontula's talk on ecological transformation and eco-theology based on her new book. Kontula challenges herself and others to think differently. Based on this talk: Creation as a partner and subject – discussion. Author Juha Hurme, eco-theologian Pauliina Kainulainen, evolutionary biologist and University of Oxford researcher Aura Raulo. Jouko Mäki-Lohiluoma will perform music. The event will be hosted by Dean Olli-Pekka Silfverhuth and Pastor Riikka Mattila.
