SUMMARY:THE CLIMATE OF THE FUTURE
DESCRIPTION:November 22\, 2021: THE CLIMATE OF THE FUTURE  – Kim Stanley Robinson\, Writer\, The Ministry for the Future (2020) \nKim Stanley Robinson has written a science fiction thriller on climate collapse in 2025 that reads as hard-edge journalism.  With short chapters written from the perspectives of a myriad of characters\, Robinson looks at climate change through lens of a kaleidoscope.  With each turn of his wrist\, we see another point view brought forward with imagination and a pragmatic visions on what must be done in order for us to survive.  Christian Holub writes “Robinson lays a blueprint for fighting climate change.” This may be one of the most important books published in the last two decades.  Bill McKibben said in his review of “The Ministry For The Future\,” in the New York Review of Books\, “This is not science fiction…..”  With questions ranging from what the end of capitalism might look like to surviving the end of the world\, Kim Stanley Robinson gives us a possible path to move forward with faith in what we can create together. \nRegister here: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Ki9SObPISlWvz9kaCDOTVA \n\nTerry Tempest Williams (author and Harvard Divinity School writer-in-residence)\, Charles M. Stang (director of the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School)\, and Dr. Sam Myers (Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health principal research scientist and Planetary Health Alliance director) have launched The Constellation Project. The Constellation Project — a collaboration between the Harvard Divinity School\, the Planetary Health Alliance\, and the Center for the Study of World Religions—explores the spiritual crisis that underlies the ecological and public health crises associated with destruction of Earth’s natural systems. How do we share news stories about our relationship to each other and the natural world that could help set us on a different path? The Constellation Project aims to feature faith leaders bringing science into their sermons; scientists giving ‘reverence for life’ alongside their analyses; and scholars and students finding a place for their spiritual life. \nThis series is a Constellation Project in partnership with the Center of the Study of World Religions\, Religion & Public Life\, and The Planetary Health Alliance. Brian Kirbis of Theasophia Teas will open each conversation with Tea. Each conversation will begin at 7:00 p.m. EST and end at 8:30 p.m. virtually conducted by Terry Tempest Williams\, writer-in-residence at the Harvard Divinity School. \nhttps://www.planetaryhealthalliance.org/the-constellation-project

SUMMARY:THE CLIMATE OF GRIEF
DESCRIPTION:Poet Victoria Chang writes in her New York Times Notable Book of 2020\, OBIT “I always knew that grief was something I could smell. But I didn’t know that it’s not actually a noun but a verb. That it moves.” After the deaths of her parents\, she refused to write elegies\, instead she wrote poetic obituaries of the beautiful\, broken world that surrounded – Many see them as love letter. How does poetry illuminate this time of uncertainty. What we thought was a pause is now a place – grief is part of this place.  How do we embrace grief and not look away  from all that is breaking our hearts.  “Give sorrow words\,” Chang writes and she does. \nRegister here: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BdGi-JXVSDe8RpzNonMLqQ \n\nTerry Tempest Williams (author and Harvard Divinity School writer-in-residence)\, Charles M.

SUMMARY:INDIGENOUS DAY
DESCRIPTION:October 18\, 2021: THE CLIMATE OF COMPASSION FOR ALL BEINGS — Janet Gyatso\, Hershey Professor of Buddhist Studies and the Associate Dean for Faculty and Academic Affairs at HDS School. \nWe are not the only species that lives and loves and grieves on this planet.  Janet Gyatso will bring provocative and evocative questions and ideas forward surrounding the sentience of all beings focusing on the phenomenology of being-with other animals and humans.  And how we can cultivate the capacity to have such experiences\, in ways that might ethically reform us and our ethical and spiritual practices.

DESCRIPTION:Bernadette Demientieff\, Executive Director of the Gwich’in Steering Committee\, will be discussing why Sacred Land Protection matters to Indigenous communities and how her community in Alaska is standing strong to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge –Coastal Plain and the Porcupine caribou herd from becoming an oil and gas reservation. She will explain why fossil fuel companies must not be allowed to drill for oil on indigenous lands and her courageous path to “keep it in the ground” in her home ground of Alaska.  “Our Identity is non negotiable. We will never sell our culture and our traditional lifestyle for any amount of money.” Bernadette says. \nRegister here: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_6_EkelnJR8GiQ7wHqiaZ-w \n\nTerry Tempest Williams (author and Harvard Divinity School writer-in-residence)\, Charles M. Stang (director of the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School)\, and Dr. Sam Myers (Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health principal research scientist and Planetary Health Alliance director) have launched The Constellation Project. The Constellation Project — a collaboration between the Harvard Divinity School\, the Planetary Health Alliance\, and the Center for the Study of World Religions—explores the spiritual crisis that underlies the ecological and public health crises associated with destruction of Earth’s natural systems. How do we share news stories about our relationship to each other and the natural world that could help set us on a different path? The Constellation Project aims to feature faith leaders bringing science into their sermons; scientists giving ‘reverence for life’ alongside their analyses; and scholars and students finding a place for their spiritual life. \nThis series is a Constellation Project in partnership with the Center of the Study of World Religions\, Religion & Public Life\, and The Planetary Health Alliance. Brian Kirbis of Theasophia Teas will open each conversation with Tea. Each conversation will begin at 7:00 p.m. EST and end at 8:30 p.m. virtually conducted by Terry Tempest Williams\, writer-in-residence at the Harvard Divinity School. \n  \nhttps://www.planetaryhealthalliance.org/the-constellation-project

SUMMARY:Tikun Olam- To Heal the World...
DESCRIPTION:In Hebrew\, “Tikun Olam” means “to heal the world.” And that’s exactly what Ben Lesser is trying to do.\nHe speaks to people in prison and teenagers growing up in gang-ridden neighborhoods; and he tells them his story. He teaches them the horrors of the Holocaust\, of Auschwitz\, of losing parents\, two brothers and a sister in the massacre. And he shows them how far he has come: how he’s achieved success in America and built a loving family who brings him great joy. He shows them how by choosing love\, he overcame the worst of circumstances. And he shows them\, that they\, too\, have a choice. \nStudents (7th – 12th grade) are invited to a special presentation at 2:00 pm. The Adult presentation begins at 5:00 pm. \n Ben Lesser\, https://www.zachorfoundation.org/

SUMMARY:On Food and Faith: Ministry in the Time of Climate Change...
DESCRIPTION:Methodist Theological School in Ohio (MTSO) – Delaware\, OH \n“The soil is the great connector of lives\, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector\, by which disease passes into health\, age into youth\, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community\, because without proper care for it we can have no life.” \nWendell Berry\, The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture \nTechnological advances in the 20th and the 21st century offer many American consumers easy access to cheap and abundant food\, much of which is traced to supply and labor chains around the world. The same advances have resulted in the depletion of soils\, the overuse of fertilizers\, herbicides\, and pesticides\, greenhouse gas pollution\, as well as increasing obesity and other food related health issues. And within this system\, millions in the U.S. and billions more across the globe go hungry each day. Food deserts persist across urban and rural America\, and upwards of 41 million Americans are food insecure\, 13 million of whom are children. This system keeps externalities hidden\, supply high\, and prices low affecting the long term health of soils\, water\, human beings and wildlife.\nThis year’s conference will teach faith leaders how our current food system is contributing to the climate crisis\, explore the impact climate change is having on farming and food security\, and help empower attendees to take action on these issues in a way that aligns with their deepest values. \nThe training is hosted by the Center for Earth Ethics\, Methodist Theological School in Ohio (MTSO)\, and The Climate Reality Project. It will take place at MTSO May 30th-June 1. \nApplications:\nApplications are open for the 2019 program. Application deadline is March 29\, 2019. Applicants will be notified of decisions by April 30\, 2019. Click here to submit an application.\nTravel and Accommodations:\nFor information about travel and local accommodations\, please click here.\nQuestions:\nPlease contact: Genie Cooper

SUMMARY:Food Waste Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Here in the US\, more than 30% of all food is wasted. In a world with so many hungry people\, that’s a terrible shame. \nSadly\, it gets worse. Wasted food rots and creates greenhouse gas emissions. A lot of them. If you compare the emissions from food waste globally to the world’s nations\, it comes in third place – following China and the US. \nFortunately\, we can all make a difference. Take part in Food Waste Weekend. \nOn the weekend of September 23-25\, faith communities across the country will celebrate the first Food Waste Weekend\, or will commit to do so later this year. Food Waste Weekend is a partnership between GreenFaith and Ampleharvest.org\, a nonprofit that reduces food waste and hunger by empowering growers to donate excess produce to food pantries. \n70% of America’s food pantries are located in a house of worship. Faith communities are key partners in helping to ensure that excess food gets to hungry families. \nWe invite you to take part in Food Waste Weekend. Sign up now to take part on Sept. 23-25 or to schedule your Food Waste Weekend later this year. \nSample sermons and background information on food waste are available on the Food Waste Weekend website for Christian\, Jewish\, Muslim\, Buddhist\, Hindu\, Unitarian and Secular communities. You can also download the Food Waste Weekend Gameshow lesson plan for children in faith communities\, and other free resources. \nSpread the word by using #foodwasteweekend on social media. \nOur goal is to have 7\,500 congregations signed on to Food Waste Weekend and sharing this pressing message in their communities on September 23-25 or later this year. We look forward to congregations speaking out about this vital issue. \nIn faith\, \nRev. Fletcher Harper \nExecutive Director \nGreenFaith
