SUMMARY:The Path of Hope: A Study on Climate Action for Faith Communities
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join a weekly online discussion series on Thursday\, beginning Oct. 28\,  built around 15-minute videos featuring interviews with US faith leaders\, representatives of climate-impacted communities from the global South\, and presentations by UN officials and other experts. The videos walk viewers through four key climate policy issues that intersect with universal faith concerns for vulnerable and marginalized people. The series focuses on how climate change is impacting the core ministries of faith communities around the world\, how those impacts will increase in the future\, and why these impacts create an imperative for people of faith to advocate for strong US climate action.  A discussion guide is included that asks participants to think deeply about how their own local faith community’s direct service programs intersect with climate impacts\, and how knowledge and experiences gained through these programs might help to inform climate policy. The study’s Action Center provides practical\, step-by-step instructions for advocacy activities\, as well as recommended policy asks for local\, state\, and national leaders.  Join us! Please register on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-path-of-hope-a-study-on-climate-action-for-faith-communities-tickets-170550481080.

SUMMARY:A Climate Action Plan for Faith Communities & People of Faith
DESCRIPTION:Join Lisa Brenskelle\, Houston Climate Communication Coordinator for the Texas chapter of Interfaith Power & Light\, for a discussion on developing a Climate Action Plan for your faith community and for yourself. The City of Houston has a Climate Action Plan\, but how do you translate that to your faith community\, or to your household?  Clearly\, a city and a faith community or an individual household are very different.  However\, certain fundamental principles apply to all cases. This talk will highlight those principles\, as well tools available and steps to take in developing a climate action plan for both houses of worship & individuals.  Time for interactive Q&A with the speaker will be provided.  Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-climate-action-plan-for-faith-communities-people-of-faith-tickets-183953689437. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions.

SUMMARY:Quaker Barter Fair
