Progressive Christianity Forum – Lee Levett-Olson – The continuing task of reimaging God
Join us for a presentation by Rev Dr Lee Levett-Olson on The continuing task of reimaging God.
What we believe about God’s connection to the cosmos has a direct impact on how we act as Christians within the world. The unfolding reality that human impact can irreparably destroy the earth and its creatures is clear evidence that traditional views of transcendence and the divine have failed us. In this presentation Lee will set out some radical alternatives and how Christians are theologically obligated to live by an ethos that defends creation, preserves future generations, learns deeply from ancient wisdom, and leads – not lags – spiritual activism for our planet and all its creatures.
After living in North and South America, Lee Levett-Olson was ordained by the Presbyterian Church in the USA on behalf of the Uniting Church in Australia. After placements in South Australia, he became Principal (Assembly National Director) of Coolamon College, was appointed in 2008 as Principal of Nungalinya College and has served in the Northern Synod for 11 years. His PhD thesis was an early work of eco-theology, focused on an understanding of the divine that could support ethical action for creation. While retired, Lee remains committed to social activism and justice issues proud of the heritage of Protest core to the DNA of the Uniting Church.
