Harmonizers: Bridging The Divide between Environmentalism and Christian Conviction

<p>What surprised me was that Christianity isn&rsquo;t a monolith that is diametrically opposed to environmentalism. In&nbsp;<em>Communication Strategies for Engaging Climate Skeptics</em>, Emma argues that there is a third force in Christianity, called harmonizers, who proactively find compromise and common ground between faith and environmentalism, seeing them as a compatible, cohesive collective. Harmonizers embrace scientific methodologies, premises and conclusions as a harmonizing apparatus that confirm their conviction, because they see all science, including climate science, as God&rsquo;s revelation that equally mirrors His other revelation, the Bible. Together, they epitomize an &ldquo;ecocultural identity&rdquo; in Christianity that affirms the imperative from faith and climate science to invoke care for the environment.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@JonathanWongZhiWen/harmonizers-bridging-the-divide-between-environmentalism-and-christian-conviction-ae9f573f5cff"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
