OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Why Catholics Aren’t Environmentalists (of a Certain Sort)... The Ecological Vision of Catholic Social Teaching
The Laudato Si’ Research Institute based at Campion Hall warmly invites you to this public lecture from Dr Matthew Whelan. You are welcome to attend either in person or online.
ABOUT
What is care for creation according to Catholicism and what does this care require from us?
This lecture will examine the account of creation offered within Catholic theology and applied within the Catholic social teaching tradition. It will argue that in important respects this leads to an ethic of creation care that is distinct from a ‘modernist’ account of nature.
In contrast, Catholicism recasts environmentalism through the articulation of an integral ecology—one that integrates care for the earth and for one another into our love of God.
