The Conference brought together participants from various parts of Europe to explore the theology of creation care and how seminaries, theological colleges and faculties, and Christian training courses across Europe could be encouraged to build a concern for the environment into every aspect of the life of Christian communities – in learning and living as the people of Christ.</div> <bR> <div> This publication can be ordered from the IBTS Bookshop at 200 CZK, (approx £5 UK) plus p&p.
