Many people are becoming increasingly aware of the intimate connection between the environmental crisis and our detachment from the land. In response, Christian churches are called to root themselves more deeply in the biblical text in order to remember and imagine ways of living on the land that are restorative and reconciling. Last year’s AMBS Rooted and Grounded conference began these conversations, with 170 participants from across North America. Building on the enthusiasm of that event, the Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary announces a second Rooted and Grounded conference, and invites submissions for papers and workshops.
The conference will take place October 1-3 on the AMBS campus in Elkhart, IN. Details are available at the conference website, and the open call for papers can be downloaded.
