Christian Responses to Climate Change
Penny Greer
Monday, 14 Nov 2011 at 7:00 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union
Penny Greer is a minister and geologist. She earned a Master of Divinity from the Harvard Divinity School and has served as a church pastor for thirty years. Greer returned to school after a decade of ministry, driven by a concern about why the natural world was excluded from Western Christianity. She completed a BS in geology at the University of Southern Indiana and has since developed a research interest in Christian responses, both fundamentalist and liberal, to evolution and climate change. Greer currently serves as Interim Pastor at the First Christian Church in Lincoln, Nebraska. She has also begun work toward a joint MS within the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and the Department of Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
