Faith and the Environment Conference

Canon Dr Charlotte Bannister-Parker speaking at the CMCS Faith and the Environment Conference.

On Friday, 1st March 2024, H4C’s founder Canon Dr Charlotte Bannister-Parker presented at the Faith and Environment Conference hosted by the Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies in Oxford. The hybrid conference demonstrated the diversity of environmental theologies within Islam and Christianity. 

Charlotte's presentation followed a keynote speech by Farhana Mayer from the Laudato Si’ Research Institute on the subject of climate justice. Charlotte focused on the motivation of children and young people in dealing with this subject, drawing on examples from her work with young people in Lamu, Kenya and Oxford. A recording of the presentation is available to watch on the Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies’ Youtube channel.

Our participation in this conference was a continuation of our work of inspiring a move from concern for the environment to action against climate change, in people from all faith communities. To stay connected with H4C and find out about all our upcoming events, please get in touch.
