In June 2019, Halki Summit III was held in Constantinople (Istanbul), hosted by the Ecumenical Patriarchate. The topic of the summit was Theological Formation and Ecological Awareness: A Conversation on Education and the Environment. The summit brought together theological educators and environmental thinkers and activists for the sustained conversation about how we might integrate ecological issues in our seminaries, schools and parish religious education programs. This issue of PRAXIS includes a few of presentations from the summit for your study.
