MAGAGULA, Tommy. Christian identity and the environment. Studia Hist. Ecc. [online]. 2016, vol.42, n.1, pp.96-104. ISSN 2412-4265. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2412-4265/2016/91.
a quick glance at the campus of many a theological college in Zimbabwe reveals the need to entrench environmental ethics which transcend personal and traditional convictions. This paper seeks to be a prophetic voice on this topic by exploring the essentials of Christian ethics and the way in which the entrenchment of such ethics may impede or enhance our stewardship of natural resources. We will explore the hopelessness of religious fatalism and the entrenched beliefs that prevent us from making optimal environmental decisions. The article specifically focuses on the impact of waste management in Zimbabwe. The errors of being short-sighted in our religiosity will be scrutinised, especially regarding the impact of our decisions on environmental management.
