Caring for Creation
Aim: to help us think Biblically and practically about why and how Christians should care for the environment.
Format: the questions and discussion starters are based on the book "Christianity, Climate Change and Sustainable Living" by Nick Spencer and Robert White. It was originally used one week after a talk from Robert White looking at the Biblical motivations for creation care (Chapter 3 of the book) as well as some of the science of climate change (Chapter 1) and its likely impact on people around the world. The session is structured in four blocks, each with 5 to 8 minutes of leader introduction followed by about 10 minutes of group discussion (though some discussion parts could easily run for longer). The four sets of discussion questions (for the small group facilitators) are repeated on a single page at the end of the document, along with the worksheet for the last block.
