What would your pastor have to say to your professor? TalkWise brings them together to find out! On Episode 1 we have guests Rev. Walter Kim (president of the National Association of Evangelicals) and Professors Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim (Yale School of Environment) talking about “Caring for God's Earth." Is taking care of nature a sacred calling? How can environmental scientists benefit from the ethics of religious communities? Listen as they dive into these questions and make the case for a collaboration between hard scientific knowledge + faith-based values!Rev. Walter Kim is currently the president of the National Association of Evangelicals. He formerly pastored at Boston’s historic Park Street Church while getting his PhD in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations from Harvard, as well as churches in Vancouver and Charlottesville, and has served as a campus chaplain at Yale.
