Description
Summary:In this article, I consider how climate change and its current and future calamities might alter pastoral theology. I then ask how pastoral theology as a guild and discipline might change given the realities of the Anthropocene Age.

The aim is not to be prescriptive, but to invite discussion about this key issue for humanity.
