Creation at the Crossroads 2024

Greetings!

Creation at the Crossroads is an ongoing program for pastors of evangelical churches in the US offered in partnership by Care of Creation and the Loka Initiative at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with support from the Lausanne/WEA Creation Care Network. Each year, we host a convening of pastors, theologians, scientists, and experts to meet to examine evangelical theology, environmental and climate science, and creation care (stewardship of God’s creation) in order to help revitalize creation care as a critically important gospel issue. For the following year, we host a monthly online meeting for that year’s cohort of pastors so that they can find community and support amongst their peers. Care of Creation and the Loka Initiative are committed to connecting and empowering the next generation of Christian leaders to become stewards and advocates of creation care and climate action.
