In this episode, Professor Claudia Jahnel and Professor Jione Havea talk about Havea’s ecological approach to Old Testament texts. Jione shares his personal motivation to look at theology ecologically and together they question the value of labels and schools in theological discourse. Is climate still in the margin? Or is our theological thinking only guided in such a way that we do not perceive ecology as a center?
Jione Havea is a native Methodist pastor from Tonga, and Adjunct Professor in biblical and cultural studies with the School of Theology, Charles Sturt University, and in religious and indigenous studies with the University of Divinity in Melbourne (both universities are in Australia).
In his church work, Jione was involved in the greening (revision) of the curriculum of Sia’atoutai Theological College (Tonga) and of the formation and continuing education programs of the Methodist Church in Tonga (2022-2024). He currently serves in the role of Catalyst for the Stewardship of Earth, with responsibility for the AcClimatise the Lectionary Project within the NSW and ACT Synod of the Uniting Church in Australia.
In this season, titled “The(o)Ecology – A Green Curriculum,” we speak with international experts on the topic of Ecological Justice in Religion and Theology.
This episode is in English.
