His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew will host the second Halki Summit in Heybeliada, Turkey. The summit -- being held June 8-10 -- is a gathering of activists, scientists, journalists, business leaders, theologians, and academics engaging and working across intellectual boundaries to bring the global environmental discussion to a new and richer place, the Greek Reporter website reports today (June 8, 2015).
Halki Summit II -- organized by Ecumenical Patriarchate and Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) -- will focus on "Theology, Ecology, and the World: A Conversation on the Environment, Literature and the Arts."
Summit participants will discuss the relationship between nature and art. (Incidentally, former Vice President Al Gore -- a genuine environmentalist -- nicknamed Greek Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew "the Green Patriarch" several years ago because of his tireless conveying to the world a need for a clean environment.)
Summit participants -- including SNHU President Paul LeBlanc and several representatives of SNHU students -- will seek to discern the literary and philosophical roots of our concern for a balanced and sustainable environment.
