Peter Tan is an award-winning architect in Madison WI. He is also creative, thoughtful, and passionate about the wonders of God’s creation. The Chief Design Officer at Strang Inc., Peter recently shared his thoughts on how he thinks as an architect and what this has to do with caring for God’s creation in an hour-long podcast conversation hosted by Upper House, a Christian outreach ministry at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

This conversation is worth listening to. You’ll never look at a window, door or store-front the same way again. You might even want to think about becoming an architect, or at least buying your child another set of legos!

The article is trying to articulate how creation care enhances Frontier
Missions as currently defined, but also tries to suggest that the
current definition is inadequate as it focuses only on people and not
also on place. To have a full, Kingdom-minded, integral definition of
Frontier Missions, we need to not only think about humans, but the wider
social and environmental contexts, which puts creation not serving,
but being served….

Bob says, “Let’s see what people think.” So, what do you think?
