INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ENVIRONMENT AND RELIGION

15th-16th May 2008

Main theme of the Symposium

Environmental problems that threaten the future of the world and the
humanity became one of the most important matters on our agenda.
Activities on the behalf of solution for these problems are
unfortunately insufficient against the growing environmental problems.
Most important work to solve global environmental problems is to make
all human being conscious about this subject. If it is considered the
effect of the religion that takes important role among the social
institutions to human life, it is clear that it is indispensable means
for the solution. Firstly, Islam, Judaism, Christianity and the other
religions have doctrines which include important warnings for the sake
of protecting the environment.

contribute to forming awareness and environmental ethics invites papers
in two-day conference on eco-theology and environmental ethics.
