Community Corner
Interfaith Dialogue Luncheon: Religion and Ecology, The New Environmental Ethic at the Table of Abraham
Co-sponsored by Interweave, St. Bernard’s Church, Greenfaith, & Genesis Farms
If we are to create a sustainable future for the human community and the planet, religions will need to be involved. Our values inform the decisions we make as individuals, and they also help to shape public policy. Through the lens of the Abrahamic faith traditions, consider our call to embrace a new environmental ethic.
