Creation Care, Climate Change, and Healthy Discourse in Christian Communities
2022-11-17 19:00 - 20:30 | Upper|House, 365 East Campus Mall, Suite 200, Madison, 53715, United States
A renowned scientist will bring research on the health effects of global environmental change. A theologian and leader of the Lausanne/World Evangelical Alliance Creation Care Network will bring biblical and international perspective. And an institutional leadership veteran and conflict resolution expert will bring strategic wisdom about ways to engage in challenging conversations. This unique event foregrounds science, the church, and caring communication, courtesy of a Loka Initiative program to constructively support church leaders and their communities to engage in creation care and climate activities.
You might be either curious or passionate about creation care. You might be a leader or member of a church trying to have meaningful, non-divisive conversations about climate change. The presentations and roundtable discussion at this event will approach the subject of creation care and climate change holistically, as well as bring forward conflict resolution tools to help us have the types of constructive conversations we long to have in this divisive time. We hope you will join us as we focus on a topic that touches all of us—spiritually, environmentally, and communally.

Religion in Modern China: Understanding Today’s Great Spiritual Revival
2022-11-02 19:00 - 20:30 | Upper|House, 365 East Campus Mall, Suite 200, Madison, 53715, United States
Over the past generation, the nation of China has experienced “one of the world’s great spiritual revivals,” writes Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ian Johnson. China is filled with new temples, churches, and mosques—as well as cults, sects, and politicians trying to harness religion for their own ends. Headlines appear almost daily of religious tensions that take on outsized cultural and political significance. What are we to make of the growth of religion in China? How will this revival reshape one of the world’s growing superpowers?
Join us at Upper House to hear from Ian Johnson about the contemporary dynamics of religion in China. Drawing on decades of reporting, Johnson is one of the world’s most acute observers of religion in East Asia. He has lived for extended periods with underground church members, rural Daoists, and Buddhist pilgrims. He has distilled these and many other experiences into a popular account, The Souls of China: The Return of Religion after Mao (2017), and will offer us an even more up-to-date exploration of the Chinese religious scene.
