OUR FRAGILE PLANET

The Blue Planet, Blue God conference is for anybody concerned with the well-being of our planet and oceans.

After the acclaimed Blue Planet 2 series on television, we are delighted to have Prof Meric Srokosz and Dr Rebecca Watson with us. Their book Blue Planet, Blue God offers a fresh lens through which to look at the Bible. We will be helped to look at the theme of caring for our planet of which 71% is sea and of how this fits with our understanding of scripture. The conference takes place from Wednesday 11th to Friday 13th September and costs £169 for a single room, £307.00 for a double room and £81 for non-residential (day delegates).

Keynote speakers are Prof Meric Srokosz and Dr Rebecca Watson authors of the book ‘Blue Planet, Blue God; The bible and the sea’ SCM Press 2017. Meric Srokosz is professor of physical oceanography at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), Southampton (www.noc.ac.uk) and a former Associate Director of the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion (2012-2015) Rebecca Watson has a DPhil examining occurrences of the theme of 'chaos' in the Psalter. Her first post was as a Lecturer in Biblical Studies at what is now the University of Cumbria. She is an affiliated lecturer of the University of Cambridge.
