Garbage Theology - The unseen...

Caleb Cray Haynes

What if God is very interested in your waste? What if you looked out your window and saw Jesus going through your trash can? Would that surprise you? The greatest illusion of our time comes in the form of waste. From landfills, to micro-trash, to invisible emissions, to imperceivable pollutants, to the factories and shores we never see... it's all hidden away from our sight. However, the harmful effects of this global wastefulness reach far and wide. It's touching the lives of everyone you love, every place you've been, and every single thing you can imagine. What if your faith requires a greater awareness about the things you eat, buy, and throw away? Could it be that your salvation is tied to all of God's creation and that you have the opportunity to join God's work of restoration? While addressing the environmental challenges of our time, Garbage Theology seeks to connect our Biblical call to serve and keep creation with how we live our lives today. Through personal stories extracted from years of working in the trash and recycling industry while pastoring a local church, author Caleb Cray Haynes introduces and examines a theology of consumption and waste through the lens of Scripture and our story as the people of God in the context of our current global environmental crises. Rev. Caleb Cray Haynes is the Director of Nazarenes for Creation Care, the host of The ecoChristian Podcast, and the Community and Creation Pastor at Kaleo Nashville Church. He also is a co-author of Keeping Creation, a 5-week small group study on the Biblical call to tend and serve the earth. He is a Partner with the Evangelical Environmental Network, an Ordained Elder in The Church of the Nazarene, and holds an MA in Theology: Ecology from Nazarene Theological College in Manchester, UK. He resides in Nashville, TN with his wife Emily, and two daughters Story and Daily. More at CalebCrayHaynes.com
