As the US and world confront the interlocking pandemics of white supremacy, extreme economic inequality, and ecological destruction - all within the context of the COVID-19 global pandemic - how do we respond from a Christian perspective to organize and build momentum toward a new world, rather than remaining within our current ways of operating?
Using the biblical framework of “A New Heaven and New Earth” from Revelation 21:1-6, the WSCF-US, in collaboration with campus ministers, chaplains, and faith leaders from across the U.S., invites Christian students to imagine a new world together and explore the ways in which we can work to help build it.
This year we are launching a series of monthly virtual Bible studies and dialogues centered around ecological justice as we build toward our New Heaven & New Earth student conference in September 2022. We are excited to be partnering with the Student Christian Movement of Kenya on this initiative.
