We’re pleased to promote this series of online lectures arranged by the Methodist-related Schools in Europe (MTSE). The theme this year is “Climate Justice? Theological, Spiritual, Political and Practical Dimensions” and the first lecture is on October 14, 2025.
This year’s programme is organised and managed by Wesley House Cambridge (Jane Leach and Daniel Pratt-Morris-Chapman) and Reutlingen School of Theology (Ulrike Schuler and Stephan von Twardowski).
They write:
In this 5th series of the European Methodist Lecture Programme, 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 lecture series is an online programme (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.
