FreeEvent Navigation
From the Green New Deal to the recently passed Clean Energy DC Act, climate change is increasingly recognized as an urgent issue. How can people of faith find spiritual motivation to engage in this work?
Join the Green Souls group at All Souls Church and Interfaith Power and Light for an interfaith panel on environmental justice and activism. Speakers representing the Muslim, Christian, Jewish and Unitarian Universalist traditions will discuss these topics through the lens of their faith framework.
Panelists will include environmental attorney Ambereen Shaffie, social organizer Robin Lewis from Beloved Community Church, Rabbi Fred Scherlinder Dobb from Adat Shalom Reconstructionist Congregation MD DC VA, and Rev. Rebecca Parker from All Souls. The panel will be moderated by Kristin Barker from One Earth Sangha. Panel attendees will have the opportunity to engage with local environmental and climate justice organizations in Pierce Hall after the panel.
