Exploring “Magnifica Humanitas” – Green Christian Talk

Wednesday 15 July 2026 7-8.15pm
In May this year Pope Leo XIV addressed all people of goodwill in his first encyclical letter Magnifica Humanitas. He offered a powerful analysis of how principles rooted in the innate dignity of every person can guide us in this time of challenging technological and social change.
On Wednesday 15 July we will be joined by Fr Martin Poulsom to explore the ways in which the letter speaks to us in the context of the climate and nature crisis.
Fr Martin Poulsom is a Roman Catholic priest, a Salesian of Don Bosco, a religious order specialising in youth ministry. He is a Senior Lecturer in Theology at the University of Roehampton, and specialises in theology of creation. He was previously the Head of Theology at Heythrop College. He is interested in the encounter between science and faith. Martin combines the theoretical focus of his research and teaching work with various forms of practical action in Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation, and is a trustee of climate charity Operation Noah.
