Research proposal to Office for Learning and Teaching A collaborative research project involving five of the partner colleges in the Australian SSA PROJECT: Development and implementation of a globally applicable interdisciplinary model of innovative distributed leadership in the learning and teaching of ecotheology PURPOSE: to facilitate innovative leadership in the learning and teaching of ecotheology and environmental care in theological institutions in Australia and beyond within a multidisciplinary framework, To provide a distributed model of leadership that secures a whole-of-organisational commitment in participating theological institutions, and to ensure that campus sustainability practices reflect high-quality learning and teaching in this area.

  8. 2015 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE Rediscovering the Spiritual in God’s Creation • We propose holding an international conference in Adelaide on 12-15 March 2015 that seeks to generate a multidisciplinary perspective on the spiritual in creation, leading to fresh horizons with regard to liturgy, justice and discipleship. • The conference – tentatively entitled Rediscovering the Spiritual in God’s Creation – would seek to explore and uncover the spiritual dimensions innate in all aspects – human and non-human, local and cosmic – of God’s creation, recognizing the interconnectedness between the ecological, biblical, theological, scientific, and philosophical disciplines, with a view to preparing a contemporary charter that fosters and enhances worship, justice and discipleship within Christian communities committed to the care of creation. • The uniqueness of the conference is its focus on ecology and spirituality in all domains of creation with an orientation towards practical outcomes relating to the care and celebration of creation within faith communities.
