Dr Rebecca Watson is a Research Associate of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion, Cambridge. Her research has focused on 'the sea in Scripture', as she has conducted a study of the biblical material on the oceans in order to develop a biblical theology of the sea. The aim is to apply this to how Christians should treat the ocean, the creatures living in it and the resources it contains.

Dr Elizabeth Theokritoff is a Research Associate at the Institute for Orthodox Christians Studies, Cambridge for which she has frequently lectured since its inception. She has had a particular interest in ‘theological ecology’ since 1988-9, when she served as visiting Orthodox Tutor at the Ecumenical Institute, Bossey, Switzerland, for the Graduate School on ‘Justice, peace and the integrity of creation’. Dr Theokritoff is co-editor of the Cambridge Companion to Orthodox Christian Theology and author of ‘Living in God’s Creation: Orthodox Perspectives on Ecology’ (St Vladimir’s Seminary Press), as well as numerous articles and book chapters on Orthodoxy and ecology and liturgical theology.
