Operation Noah trustee, Mick Oliver, reviews this powerful new teaching series from Revd Jon Swales and Alice Brencher.
In a world of news and stories, truth and lies, it’s hard to navigate how, as a Christian, I should respond to climate change. It’s also hard to navigate my own feelings of despair, worry, guilt and hope.
The Revd John Swales with Alice Brencher leads a series of six in-depth studies into climate justice, explaining and exploring how we should respond as Christians. This is done in a truth-filled, gentle manner through facts, Bible verses, prayers and personal reflective poems.
This teaching series from Swales and Brencher is good follow-on to Operation Noah’s Tenants of the King Bible study, which I highly recommend. The sessions are:
- Climate justice – the story we find ourselves in
- Climate justice – just Jesus – enacting the kingdom in a world of climate injustice
- Climate justice – discipleship – re-evaluating what we prize
- Protest and activism – driving a spoke into the wheel of climate injustice
- Lament – a spiritual resource for a hurting world
- Cruciform adaptation – living faithfully and dying well
The course can be used in many ways:
- Listen to it while getting in those 10k steps (that’s what I did!)
- Watch at home with a few friends, chatting about it at various points over tea and cake or glass of wine
- Suggest it to your church home groups
- Think of something else and let us know!

Written originally in German, and with many references to Germany, it is nevertheless applicable anywhere that is dominated by a culture of over-consumption, ambition around accumulation of wealth and possessions, and obsession with a growth economy.

Keeping in mind that Operation Noah is not only deeply realistic about the profound environmental challenges we face, but also ‘hope-inspired’, we will explore the role of the prophet and of the prophetic imagination in the context of the current climate and nature crises. How can Christian climate campaigners inspire the Church, our neighbours and our politicians to lead the way towards a safer climate and brighter future?
