Religion and Ecology: 54 years after the ‘White’ thesis

Wednesday Forum – 10 November 2021

This presentation is an evaluation of two anthologies (1974, 2017) which contain responses to Lynn T. White. Gerrit Singgih traces the present ecological destruction to application of religious worldviews in the past, and concludes that Christianity, or more exactly, Protestantism, which for him is a very anthropocentric religion, is responsible for the destruction. Although the majority of the responders show that White’s article from 1967, which become famous as the ‘White’ thesis, is one-sided, they still acknowledge its relevance for today. Indonesian Christians could respond to the thesis in a fruitful way, by engaging in a dialogue with local or nature religions in reappraising the divine immanence in nature, and struggle together in preventing further ecological destruction.

Emanuel Gerrit Singgih is professor of theology at Duta Wacana Christian University (UKDW). Since earning his PhD from the University of Glasglow, UK, in 1982, he has written numerous books and journal articles on contextual theology and biblical exegesis. He teaches courses on philosophical hermeneutics and biblical interpretations at ICRS.

Have you ever been treated in a hospital with a di Have you ever been treated in a hospital with a different religious affiliation than what we believe in?

In an emergency, we often cannot choose where we will be treated. However, this "emergency" seems to be an entry point to get to know people who have different beliefs from us.

Berita kegagalan Indonesia menjadi tuan rumah Pial Berita kegagalan Indonesia menjadi tuan rumah Piala Dunia U-20 masih hangat di ruang media kita. Apa pun alasannya, "kekecewaan nasional" ini menunjukkan bahwa kultur sepak bola telah mengakar kuat di negeri ini. 

Di beberapa tempat di negara lain, sepak bola bukan sekadar mengakar sebagai kultur, melainkan sudah menghunjam menjadi kultus.

Pada tahun 2016 silam, Walt Disney Animation Studi Pada tahun 2016 silam, Walt Disney Animation Studios merilis "Zootopia", sebuah film animasi tentang peradaban hewan dan masalah kewargaan yang mereka alami. Di situ, hewan-hewan bertindak laiknya manusia bahkan memiliki sistem pemerintahan dan kewargaan yang tak kalah canggih. 

Tentu bukan peradaban utopis semacam itu yang dibayangkan oleh konsep kewargaan ekologis. Namun, keduanya punya persamaan: mengandaikan hewan, dan makhluk lain, sebagai bagian dari kesatuan warga negara; mengakui hak kewarganegaraan tidak sebatas manusia.

Simak tulisan menarik tentang kewargaan ekologis ini hanya di situs web crcs.
Religions and queer identities are often purported Religions and queer identities are often purportedly seen as antithetical to each other, impossible to reconcile, and harshly incompatible to be openly and mutually ‘holding hands’.

Yet in Indonesia, despite mainstream conservative attitude toward queer identities, queer-inclusive voices coming from faith leaders and queer activists are resisting and challenging the status quo.
