Science, Justice, Faith and Care for the Earth
An interdisciplinary discussion on Pope Francis' Encyclical Letter, Laudato Si'
-----------------------
In May 2015, the Vatican released a Papal encyclical titled Laudato Si'. It contains an unprecedented theological and geopolitical framework for tackling climate change.
Reflecting on this monumental task, a panel of eminent speakers will gather exploring the science, faith, and intersectionality of climate change.

The entrance to the Cruciform Building is on the west side of Gower Street, between Grafton Way and University Street. See http://www.ucl.ac.uk/maps/cruciform-building . Drinks and reception to follow.
Event is organised by the Newman House Chaplaincy and Westminster Justice and Peace. Further details of speakers and format will be published forthwith.
