It’s been such a joy to see so many of you in our beloved GreenFaith community come out last week for Earth Day - and all online!
If you missed the live-streamed Interfaith Call for Care and Resilience, there’s still time to watch.
During the Interfaith Call, we heard movingly from Benki Piyako, a leader of the Ashaninka tribe in the Amazonian state of Acre opposing destructive development. We also listened to so many other faith leaders who were speaking about the intersection of climate change and the global crisis that we are finding ourselves in today.
If you participated in one of the dozens of local Circles of Care and Resilience that held online Pray-Ins to nourish each other, take action to protect each other, and fight against injustice: Thank you.
We have a wrap-up of all of the actions on the blog, including a Pray-In at BlackRock, the global financial firm heavily invested in fossil fuels.
This week, we are resuming our regular weekly Faith Community Calls for Care and Resilience.
We will be led by Dharma leader Kristin Barker for the spiritual reflection. Kristin is the co-founder and director of One Earth Sangha whose mission is to inspire and sustain transformational response to ecological crises.
Please join us on Thursday, at 11 am OR 4 pm / 16:00 New York Time (find your local time here).
As people of faith and spirit, we are building a world rooted in love, justice and compassion for everyone in our human family. Right here. And right now.
Come by yourself, or bring your friends and family. We are finding peace within, and connection with each other. Practicing care and resilience in this time of crisis. We hope to see you on Thursday.
In Faith,
Rev. Fletcher Harper
Executive Director, GreenFaith
P.S. We know that these are unprecedented times but we also know that our work of building a loving, just, and compassionate world is more urgent than ever before.
