“Care For Creation: Muslim and Catholic Accord”
The Lourdes University Department of Theological Studies is pleased to present “Care For Creation: Muslim and Catholic Accord” on Sunday, April 3 at 3 p.m. at the Franciscan Center, 6832 Convent Blvd. in Sylvania. The event is free and open to the public.
Guest speakers include Fatima Al-Hayani, Ph.D. and Sr. Shannon Schrein, Ph.D., OSF. The speakers will discuss Muslim and Catholic understandings of the goodness of God’s creation and our special call as believers to treat the environment with respect and awe. They will also provide some practical ways for doing this together.
“With the very recent publication of Pope Francis’ Laudato Si: Care for Our Common Home and the International Islamic Climate Change Symposium’s (IICCS) Islamic Declaration on Global Climate Change, the time is ripe for Muslims and Catholics to work more closely on ways that all might reverence God’s gift of creation and call our brothers and sisters to action for the sake of our common home,” says Benjamin Brown, Ph.D., Chair of the Lourdes University Department of Theological Studies.
