Abstract:This contribution introduces three separate considerations of "creation care." This phrase, increasingly encountered in conversations concerning religion and the environment, and particularly in the context of Christianity, benefits from further fleshing out in the articles that follow. Together, they allow the important concerns that creation care encompasses to be more constructively engaged, as urgent conversations concerning religion and the environmental crisis continue to develop.

Abstract:Acknowledging that the climate crisis is the defining issue of our time, this paper argues that theological education needs to be attentive to the following in order to provide resources for the anxiety and grief that the community is coping with: 1) the biblical tradition of lament; 2) biblical texts that grapple with climate catastrophe; 3) the legacy of colonialism; 4) the possibility of resurrection hope. In addition, this paper suggests that traditional theological education is deeply implicated in our current climate crisis and briefly outlines how the curriculum would need to be refocused in order to realistically equip clergy to vigorously engage the challenges their communities are struggling with.

Abstract:Anglicanism fosters creation care in its legacy of natural theology, its recognition of the goodness of creation, and its balance of individualism and holism. Anglican natural theology promotes a positive view of the sciences. Reasons are offered to not follow N.T. Wright in subordinating natural theology to New Testament eschatology.

Abstract:Jamaican novelist and critic Sylvia Wynter famously wrote that "the central mechanism at work" in processes of colonization "was and is that of representation." Canadian theology is becoming ever more responsive to Wynter's call as it thinks through the manner in which the mechanism of theological representation supported and continues to support colonization. This is the challenge that I, too, wish to take up, and I will do so through thinking about how we represent time within settler colonialism, and how our understanding of time and its redemption is, in fact, deeply invested with theological suppositions that afflict both Canadian and Canadian theological understandings of the time of reconciliation.
