Dr. Schade is pastor of United in Christ Lutheran Church in Lewisburg, PA and Adjunct Instructor in Philosophy at Lebanon Valley College. On this call Dr. Schade will share the themes and challenges raised in her new book “Creation-Crisis Preaching: Ecology, Theology and the Pulpit“, about preaching that names and acts on the integrity of God’s creation. She works with the premise that all of Creation, including humankind, needs to hear the Good News of Jesus’ resurrection in this age in which humanity is “crucifying” Creation.
