What have diapers, the Bible, COP26 and climate justice all in common?
In this episode 4, Rev. Dr. Dave Bookless, Director of Theology for A Rocha International, shares his story and theological reflections about how Christian faith and creation care go together and why climate change is rather a symptom than the actual problem.
Dave Bookless is Director of Theology for A Rocha International, an international Christian nature conservation organisation. He is also an ordained Anglican minister leading a multiracial church in Southall, London, and a member of the Church of England’s Environment Working Group. In addition, Dave is an Associate of the Faraday Institute in Cambridge, a Global Catalyst for Creation Care with the Lausanne Movement, and serves on global committees for the Season of Creation and Renew our World.
Born in India, Dave and his wife Anne have lived in multifaith Southall since 1991, and their four daughters have all grown up there. He has a PhD in Theology and Biodiversity Conservation from Cambridge University, has spoken and lectured on environmental issues across six continents, and has contributed to over 20 books including Planetwise (translated into Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Korean and Spanish) and God Doesn’t do Waste.
To relax, he enjoys wildlife, running, mountain walking and Indian food.
