Does God have a role in the world today? Posted on March 27th
God will not intervene to prevent humanity from wreaking disastrous damage to the environment, the Archbishop of Canterbury has warned. What’s your reaction to this?
Dr Rowan Williams has urged a “radical change of heart” to prevent runaway climate change. At York Minster he said humanity should turn away from the selfishness and greed that leads it to ignore its interdependence with the natural world.
He said just as God gave humans free will to do “immeasurable damage” to themselves as individuals it seemed “clear” they had the same “terrible freedom” as a human race. He also warned that God would not guarantee a “happy ending”.
Are you a person of faith - Christianity or otherwise? Do you support Dr Williams’ views? Is a ‘radical change of heart’ the only way to prevent climate change?
