Answering the Call: Ecological Conversion through Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum
Date: October 2, 2024
Time: 7:30 – 8:45 p.m. ET
In this presentation, I delve into the concept of “ecological conversion”—a significant shift that transcends simply gaining knowledge to involve a change in how we feel and think about our common home. I will address the pressing need for this transformation in the face of the climate crisis, which compels us to reconsider our desires and aspirations for the planet’s future. Drawing from the profound teachings of Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum I’ll explore how embracing the values of gratitude, community, and sacrifice is crucial for developing a sustainable relationship with our ecological world.
