Ideas for Action – Resources for small groups
An Address and Bible Studies for House Groups
We live in an age of seeking. A visit to a local bookshop may reveal the growing interest in environmental issues and also the rapid extension of bookshelves weighed down with tomes covering a variety of so-called ‘alternative’ or ‘new-age’ topics. These trends reveal people’s concern over the state of the planet together with a desire to seek solutions and new-lifestyles. This Module is offered primarily for House Groups, Group Work, Workshops or Bible Study to help churches and individuals explore environmental perspectives from a Christian perspective.
The aim of the studies is to help people engage with God’s word:
- to make connections between Christian beliefs and environmental issues
- to make connections between the material and the spiritual
- to make connections between the way we live our lives and the purpose God has for them.
