Creation

God’s World Our Responsibility?

“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it” (Psalm 24:1).

In September 2025, the Presbyterian Church in Ireland held a creation conference in Belfast.  Featuring theologian and author, Rev Dr Chris Wright, the conference explored the biblical story from creation to new creation, showing how our responsibility to God for the earth connects with proclaiming the gospel and loving our neighbour.

A number of resources from this event are available for congregational and individual use.
