In association with the Church of South India (CSI) Synod, the Certificate Course in Eco-theology offered by United Theological College, Bengaluru (UTC) has been opened to students recommended by CSI’s mission partners and sister churches in communion with CSI’s Synod. Initially reserved for CSI members, the course generated interest among those outside of India, and the second batch of students who begin this online, six-month course in June 2022 will hail from other countries as well. The syllabus is based on the five volumes of “the Earth Bible” edited by Norman C Habel, and includes eco-justice principles, eco-hermeneutics, eco-homiletics, climate justice and green movements, eco-feminism and more.
