A new thesis in theology shows how religious faith can complement climate science. While the science often gives rise to climate anxiety, faith offers hope, meaning and motivation for continued action. The study is based on interviews with activists in Sweden and South Africa, from pastors to climate strikers. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/uu/pressreleases/faith-as-a-driver-of-climate-commitment-3434278?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Alert&utm_content=pressrelease https://www.mynewsdesk.com/uu/pressreleases/faith-as-a-driver-of-climate-commitment-3434278?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Alert&utm_content=pressrelease Uppsala universitet Fri, 30 Jan 2026 05:00:00 +0000 Reincarnation and karma have been concepts of various cultures and religions, including in Western civilizations. One of Rudolf Steiner’s contributions consisted in looking at reincarnation and karma in the light of the human ability to evolve – without moral implications in the sense of punishment for transgressions in a previous earthly life. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/goetheanum/pressreleases/freedom-and-responsibility-contributions-to-stil-magazine-describe-karma-without-guilt-3429724?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Alert&utm_content=pressrelease https://www.mynewsdesk.com/goetheanum/pressreleases/freedom-and-responsibility-contributions-to-stil-magazine-describe-karma-without-guilt-3429724?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Alert&utm_content=pressrelease Goetheanum Mon, 26 Jan 2026 14:36:59 +0000 Six authors use Rudolf Steiner’s creative language to illustrate how spirit can be experienced.

In the novel, the Lutheran faith has a key role in the depiction of Finland as an emerging nation.
