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.

Please RSVP above and join us at the Cruciform Building, UCL, Room B404 LT-2 on 6th February, 7 pm, for this free event. 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.
