European Methodist Lecture Program (EMLP): Climate Justice? Theological, Spiritual, Political and Practical Dimensions

In this 5th series of the European Methodist Lecture Program (EMLP), we explore the theological, spiritual, political, and practical dimensions of the evolving climate crisis. The series is designed to enable ministry practitioners in Europe to reflect on the mission and ministry of the church in the light of the global implications of climate change and to engage with the big theological and spiritual questions that concern what it means to be human in relation to an increasingly volatile natural world; what it means to be justice-seeking in the context of uneven climate change resilience; and what we think God’s purposes are for creation.
The European Methodist Lecture Program is an online program (via video conferences). Speakers from various countries, Methodist traditions, theological expertise, and ecumenical contexts will give their insights and present their perspectives and research on “Climate Justice” from a theological perspective. The lectures are followed by discussions in groups and in plenary sessions.
The EMLP brings together students, theologians, clergy, and lay persons from all over Europe and beyond – from different backgrounds and cultures. It offers a learning space on intercultural and international level.

The sessions take place on the dates indicated from 6:15 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. (CET) via video conference (90 minutes). The language of the lectures and the discussions is English. The link for the video conferences will be provided to those registered at the beginning of October 2025.
