Creation Care with Anna Radkovic and Revd Dr Wei-Han Kuan

The Alf Stanway Lecture in Mission 2026

🎙️ S4 E14 — Creation Care: Integral to the Great Commission or Optional Extra? with Anna Radkovic and Revd Dr Wei-Han Kuan

Episode Description

The Alf Stanway Lecture in Mission returns in 2026, presented in partnership between CMS Victoria and Ridley College. This annual lecture seeks to encourage and equip Christians to respond faithfully to Christ’s Great Commission to his Church.

This year’s lecture explores a timely topic: is creation care—care for God’s created world—truly part of global mission—or something peripheral, even suspect? Drawing on lived experience, real-world case studies, and biblical reflection, this lecture will show that creation care is not an imported agenda, but an integral expression of the Christian faith and God’s redemptive work.

Anna Radkovic, a CMS missionary serving with A Rocha Kenya, will bring first-hand insight from her ministry in Watamu, Kenya. A Rocha is a global Christian organisation committed to caring for God’s creation as an expression of the gospel. In Kenya, Anna supports and strengthens local leadership while working alongside communities to make Christ known through this work.

Responding will be Revd Dr Wei-Han Kuan, Executive Director of CMS Victoria, who will reflect theologically through the lens of holistic mission, helping situate creation care within the wider scope of God’s redemptive work.

Together, they will offer a vision of mission that is biblically grounded, globally informed, and practically lived out—inviting Christians into hopeful, faithful participation in God’s mission today.
