Every Christian in every generation has to work out what it means to be a follower of the way of Christ in their particular culture; for us, that is our globalised, consumerist world. These powerful forces shape our lives, our thinking and our world view, and have serious impact on the global poor and the health of the planet. Ruth Valerio will reflect on the call to justice and wisdom, and how we can live both gently and joyfully on the planet and with each other in the 21st century.
Dr Valerio is the Theology and Churches Director for A Rocha UK, the Christian charity working for the protection and restoration of the natural world, and the Director of Cred Jewellery, the world’s first fair-trade jewellery company. Her book Just Living: Christianity in an Age of Consumerism will be published by Hodder in 2016.
