Faith Communities Protecting God's Creation

Saturday, April 26th, 11am - 12:30 pm

Join us for an important conversation about how faith organizations can leverage their buildings, grounds, people, and community networks to protect our land an people form the impacts of climate change.

OPEN TO GUESTS OF ALL FAITHS!

Meet Josh Richardson of Brugmansia Ministries, Meghan Reha, a Renewable Energy Consultant, and Megan Miller of the Episcopal Church of St. James the Less.

No community is immune from the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation. As our world continues to experience extreme weather events with greater frequency, suffer from pollution, and lose wildlife diversity, how can we better prepare our Northfield community? Faith communities will likely be first responders in ensuring we can meet the basic human needs (food, water, shelter, clothing) in the face of both human and environmental stressors.

Join us for an important conversation about how faith organizations can leverage their buildings, grounds, people, and community networks to protect our land and people from crisis. We will be joined by speakers from Brugmansia Ministries, Faith in Place, and Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary’s Center for Ecological Generation. We will discuss how we can take concrete steps to address existing local challenges with earth-based religious practices and community collaboration while becoming more prepared to address future environmental challenges. After hearing from our speakers, we will brainstorm ways that we can repair and protect God’s creation through the individual and cooperative efforts of Northfield’s communities of faith.

This event will be held from 11am to 12:30pm on Saturday, April 26. It is sponsored by Northfield Community Church, Divine Mercy Parish, St. James the Less Congregation, and Go Green Northfield. There will be a 45-minute panel followed by a 45-minute discussion for the public. Then, we will have a working lunch for congregational leaders to brainstorm on next steps.
