Real Christians Care for the Earth
+-+-+-+-+-+
The Adult Forum of St Matthew Lutheran Church,
Moorestown NJ, started 2009 on a high note:
Their guest speaker of January 4 treated a
subject that I'm sure occupies many a New Year's
resolution: The nexus where the God of the
Bible and our concern for the environment
intersect.
Tanya Barnett is a graduate of Valparaiso
University in theology and science. She worked
with the Peace Corps in Niger, Africa, and with
the L'Arche Community for developmentally
disabled adults in Tacoma WA before entering
Vanderbilt University Divinity School in
Nashville TN. She worked with abused women
there, and with native peoples in Alaska.
Following graduation, she assumed a position
with Earth Ministry, a non-denominational
Christian environmental group in Seattle. She
has developed, taught and participated in local,
regional, and national efforts to define and
live out a distinctly Christian view of human
relation to the rest of God's creation.
