Keynote Speaker - Bill McKibben

Recently, I had the opportunity to hear Bill McKibben speak at a Christian Educators Conference in Albuquerque. For a little background on Bill, check one of my previous posts. I have read several of Bill's books and was very interested to hear him speak in person.

His talk began with an overview on climate change and he used a number of biblical references for why we should care for creation. He spoke about his involvement in the national day of action, Step it up 2007 and his latest involvement with 350.org which will bring worldwide attention to the need for reducing carbon dioxide to 350 ppm.

I now have an autographed copy of his book, The Comforting Whirlwind - God, Job and the Scale of Creation.
