SUMMARY:The Face of God
DESCRIPTION:From the melting permafrost that threatens churches in Alaska to the wildfires that ravaged California this past year\, to the U.S. South where hurricanes are becoming stronger and more deadly\, communities around the globe are already feeling the rising impacts of global climate change. The Face of God is a film about God and nature\, faith and climate change\, and the experience of communities around the world facing and experiencing changes in their lives now. This is also a film about beauty\, ecology\, theology\, sanctity\, our relationship to the natural world\, love\, asceticism\, and always it is about the radiant living icon of the face of God in creation. The film showcases important Christian voices\, scientists\, politicians\, lay leaders\, theologians\, and communities around the world\, and gathers the witness of the whole church on the defining issue of our time.  Join us online each week on Thursday (except Mar. 17) to view segments of the film and discuss them. Can’t make it every week?  Join as you are able.  Register on www.eventbrite.com at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-face-of-god-tickets-252042886057.

SUMMARY:Collective Visioning for Our Region’s Water
DESCRIPTION:In a generation\, much of the U.S. will resemble the lower Galveston Bay Watershed\, a 10-county region surrounding Houston which Bayou City Waterkeeper (BCWK) serves. Home to the most diverse population\, and also one of the most ecologically diverse major urban areas\, our waterways — consisting of 2\,500 miles of bayous\, as well as creeks\, coastlines\, and the ocean — support immense biodiversity. Our region has lived through unprecedented storm surges and widespread flooding from hurricanes and heavy rain storms over the last two decades. Amplifying the worst effects of these storms are the region’s long-time underinvestment in forward-thinking flood prevention\, lax attitudes towards land use regulation\, and historic redlining practices which have driven over-development of ecologically sensitive wetland areas and the outer-lying parts of our city. Ayanna Jolivet Mccloud\, Executive Director of BCWK\, will explore the critical role that collective visioning\, ecological imagination and storytelling play in connecting to and advocating for our region’s waterways and our community. Beyond the built environment\, how can we use imagination as a tool to explore new ways to restore prairies and wetlands\, which hold rainfall and prevent flooding? How can we use imagination as a tool for new approaches towards water infrastructure that center ecological impacts and environmental justice. Established in 2001\, Bayou City Waterkeeper is a Houston-based organization working at the confluence of conservation and environmental justice toward cleaner water\, wetlands and healthy ecosystems\, and just\, resilient communities. Time for interactive discussion with the speaker will be provided.  Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/collective-visioning-for-our-regions-water-tickets-288968451417.
