The Shape of your Shopping

Australians are masters in the art of consumption. We consume things - food, wine, clothes, and cars. We consume services – healthcare, education and communications. We consume experiences - travel, fun-park rides, and swimming on a hot summer’s day. And we consume in volume.

In this series of studies you will have an opportunity to put your consumption under the spotlight, for at the same time our consumption brings many benefits, it can also exact a heavy toll.

Caring For Creation

In recent times, it seems that we are increasingly being told that the world is suffering from serious environmental distress. The media continually sends us messages that water is becoming scarcer, that forests are being destroyed, plants, animals and marine life are being pushed to extinction and perhaps most prominently that our climate is changing. These problems seem complicated and it is hard to know what to believe, what to do or even whether we should be concerned.

These Bible Studies are aimed at helping us understand what a Christian response to environmental issues may look like and in particular, what that means for the way we deal with climate change.
