HOW to live lightly is the theme for a lecture taking place in Binfield next month.
Ruth Valerio will be the guest speaker for Binfield College’s Diversity Lecture.
She is the global advocacy and influencing director for international aid agency Tearfund, and her work has seen her understand first hand the effects on poverty on people.
Her goal is to build a movement that brings about lasting change on the environmentally rooted issues that impact the poorest and most vulnerable people.
Binfield College says that she particularly longs to see the culture of churches change so that caring for God’s earth becomes an integral part of church life, rather than an optional extra.
In her previous job at A Rocha, she spearheaded Eco Church, a movement aimed at caring for the planet in different areas of their life and work.
She is also Canon Theologian at Rochester Cathedral.
The lecture takes place in the Newbold Diversity Centre from 7.30pm on Tuesday, April 12.
Entry is free, and the talk is also webcast on Zoom.
