How should a Christian consider the value of natural resources in caring for God’s good creation? Natural resource economics evaluates the benefits of economic policies along with the costs, considering both conventional economics and ecological, or natural resource, economics. How do we sustain the capacity of the earth to support humanity, and what are the costs of our current activities and policies? Peter Brown, a Quaker who is a natural resources economist and philosopher, is a professor at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, teaching cross-discipline courses in natural resource economics, geography, and philosophy, as well as leading a program to train graduate students in cross-discipline thought and practice in a joint venture between McGill and two other universities. He is the co-author and co-editor of "Right Relationship: Building a Whole Earth Economy". 
"Right relationship" is a Quaker term for how humans should relate to one another, as well as how we relate to the world which provides the resources we use, and which we are called to steward as followers of Jesus Christ. In this interview, Larry and Peter discuss how we care for the environment as Christian stewards of God’s creation in right relationship with each other and God’s creation. This is Part 1 of a 2-part interview.

Bob Inglis returns to Hill Country Institute Live this weekend for our second conversation. We discuss how God has worked in his life and how his faith impacted both his time in the U.S. Congress, as well as his work now.

Bob represented a conservative district in South Carolina. Before one of his reelection campaigns, his children asked him to reconsider his position on global warming issues. He visited the Great Barrier Reef, where a Christian who cares for God’s creation and loves God showed the damage being done as the reef is deteriorating. He visited Antarctica and learned about the story in the ice cores which show the carbon patterns of hundreds of thousands of years. Bob now leads RepublicEn.org, an organization for conservatives promoting free market solutions to global warming and environmental issues.

Bob is a recipient of the John F. Kennedy Library Profiles in Courage Award. This is part 2 of a two-part interview.
