“…This is expressed in three ecumenical documents, namely The Land Is Crying for Justice (2002), The Oikos Journey (2006), and Climate Change: A Challenge to Churches in South Africa (2009). The need to integrate concerns over economic justice and environmental destruction is neatly captured in the “olive agenda” proposed by Steve de Gruchy (), in Klaus Nürnberger's (, ) work and in many contributions by Ernst Conradie (, ) on Christian ecotheology. Other South African scholars have explored indigenous ecological wisdom (see Setiloane ; Daneel ), while there is also some interest in an ecofeminist form of creation spirituality influenced by gurus such as Thomas Berry, Matthew Fox, and James Lovelock (see Ackermann and Joyner ; Rakoczy ; Van Schalkwyk ).…”

KNOWLEDGE, VALUES, AND BELIEFS IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN CONTEXT SINCE 1948: AN OVERVIEW by Ernst M. Conradie and Cornel W. du Toit Abstract.In this contribution, an overview of the distinct ways in which the interplay between knowledge, values, and beliefs took shape in the South African context since 1948 is offered. This is framed against the background of the paleontological significance of South Africa and an appreciation of indigenous knowledge systems, but also of the ideological distortion of knowledge and education during the apartheid era through the legacy of neo-Calvinism. The overview includes references to discourse on human rationality (as an implicit critique against ideology), on the use of social sciences in theological reflection, on the teaching of evolution in public schools, on science and religion, and on religion and ecology. The essay concludes with a survey of some of the major voices regarding the interface between religion and science in South Africa.

“…The concept of Earth Stewardship is rooted in religious thought (Conradie 2006;Kearns and Keller 2007) and is similar to the principles underlying US environmental policy, 1 sustainable development in developing nations (WCED 1987;UN 2010), and the emerging science of ecosystem management (Szaro et al 1999;Chapin et al 2009). The concept of stewardship is familiar to the general public and has essentially the same meaning in lay terms as we intend in its scientific usage.…”

Global climate change and its impacts have ethical dimensions, for instance carbon footprint equity concerns. World issues, including the state of the ecosphere and biodiver sity, regularly see political leaders, NGOs, business representatives, religious/spiritual orga nizations, academics, and others engage in international aviationdependent meetings to address critical challenges facing humanity and the planet. Yet, climate scientists and advocates call for an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 to cap the increase in global temperatures to 2ºC. Aviation emissions resulting from international meetings raise questions that are not silenced by GHG emissions offsetting. The era of climate change and 'peak oil' poses ethical challenges for holding international inperson religious and academic events, especially when the events propound an environmentalist concern and when aviation use is assumed. This paper raises ques tions regarding the ecological impacts of large international events and focuses the 'inconvenient truths' associated with international aviation in the era of global warming. The Parliament of the World's Religions, the largest multifaith gathering in the world, serves as a case study. The paper emphasizes the view that faithbased/faithinspired organizations have a special responsibility for leadership in policy and praxis on the moral imperatives of sustainability, sustainable development and climate justice.
