Guest Speaker
If you are looking for a guest speaker, reach out to us. We keep in touch with a variety of Creation Justice community leaders who may be able to fill your needs.
Creation Justice Ministries' Executive Director Shantha Ready Alonso can make herself available as a guest presenter for conferences, Sunday schools, rallies, webinars, and community festivals. She also has experience as a guest preacher for church services. Read her bio here. Creation Justice Ministries' speaker's honorarium is on a sliding fee scale, and does not include travel expense. For events in the greater Washington, DC area, travel expense does not need coverage. For out-of-town events, we request all travel expenses be paid, in addition to honorarium. "Getting Started" Congregational Creation Care Workshop
Is your congregation considering starting a green team? Creation Justice Ministries offers a three-hour interactive workshop to equip your faith community to get started.
