What is Peak Oil and Why Should the Church Care?

This coming Sunday, January 23, John Shuck will present, "What is Peak Oil?"

According to geologist, Colin Campbell:
"The term Peak Oil refers to the maximum rate of the production of oil in any area under consideration, recognising that it is a finite natural resource, subject to depletion."

Don't let the terse definition fool you. This peak of oil global oil production that many experts think is happening now has huge impacts on everything including geopolitics, transportation, economy, ecology, housing, food, career choices--in short--civilization.

John will present a powerpoint and a short clip on Peak Oil and open up the discussion for what are possible implications and possible creative and compassionate responses.

Please join us. We'll be delighted to see you. And so will our folks that provide the very best childcare.
