Abstract

The biggest single threat to ecology and biodiversity is human-induced climate change. This study assesses ethics and attitudes in an African context for coping with climate change. This assessment takes place within an ethical-practical framework functioning within the mutuality model of interreligious dialogue. Christianity and Shona religion are brought into dialogue with one another to create a conversation on how to deal with ecology. As the main source of livelihood in Zimbabwe and the whole of Africa, agriculture has been affected by climatic changes. Disease outbreaks, floods, and droughts are on the rise since the world is experiencing severe temperature rise. In addressing the ecological crisis religious considerations must be taken into account. The pivotal role of religion in issues of climate change and environmental conservation hinges on religious ethics and religion’s ability to inspire its adherents to have environmentally friendly attitudes. Christianity and Shona religion can collaborate on addressing ecological problems since they have shared sets of ethics.
基督教与肖纳宗教与生态
对生态和生物多样性最大的单一威胁是人类引发的气候变化。这项研究评估了非洲应对气候变化的道德和态度。这一评估是在宗教间对话的互惠模式下运作的道德实践框架内进行的。基督教和肖纳宗教相互对话,就如何处理生态问题展开对话。农业作为津巴布韦和整个非洲的主要生计来源,一直受到气候变化的影响。由于世界正经历严重的气温上升,疾病爆发、洪水和干旱正在增加。在应对生态危机时,必须考虑到宗教因素。宗教在气候变化和环境保护问题上的关键作用取决于宗教伦理和宗教激励信徒采取环保态度的能力。基督教和肖纳宗教可以合作解决生态问题,因为他们有共同的道德观。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Religion in Africa was founded in 1967 by Andrew Walls. In 1985 the editorship was taken over by Adrian Hastings, who retired in 1999. His successor, David Maxwell, acted as Executive Editor until the end of 2005. The Journal of Religion in Africa is interested in all religious traditions and all their forms, in every part of Africa, and it is open to every methodology. Its contributors include scholars working in history, anthropology, sociology, political science, missiology, literature and related disciplines. It occasionally publishes religious texts in their original African language.
