Sparse notes on an environmental seminar

(Originally Written May 1, 2006 in 3 Subject)

Stewardship Seminar

Dr. Spiegel - Philosophy department
Dr. Whipple - Biology department
Professor Reber - Earth & Science department

Professor Reber

In 1967, Lynn Townsend White blames the Christian ethics for the current environmental problems. The Christian ideal of nature being for man demands Christians to exploit the earth.

This work by White sparked the Christian Environmental Ethics movement.

In 2006, the pendulum has swung to where most environmentalists see the Christian stewardship concept as one of the strongest environmental ethics in play at the moment.

Background of Reber

-Rural, recycling, Mennonite concept of servitude
