Virtual Ecumenical Advocacy Days 2021
April 18th-21st
Ecumenical Advocacy Days is an annual gathering of Christian advocates and activists. Join in to worship, attend workshops, fellowship, and advocate for justice. The 2021 theme is "“Imagine! God’s Earth and People Restored.” EAD 2021 is an opportunity to support this global movement centered on and led by the people and communities most vulnerable to climate impacts due to historic racial and colonial inequities. Together, we will passionately advocate and re-imagine a world that lives out the values of justice, equity and the beloved community. Annika Harley the Creation Justice Policy and Program Associate will be one of the emcees of the event.
Creation Justice Ministries will Host Two Excellent Workshops!
“Healthy Watersheds, Healthy People'': Water is a human right and a gift from God; but then why is clean drinkable water not available to everyone? How does industry and human behavior impact the water we drink? How does access to water impact a community's overall health? We will discuss these questions and hopefully find solutions in this workshop. Bitahnii Wayne Wilson a mutual aid relief provider on Navajo land and we will be discussing his work and the right to water. Register for Ecumenical Advocacy Days today and join in on 4/20 at 7pm.
“The Church's Role in Environmental Justice”: In the midst of intersecting crises of climate change, race, and the pandemic, how can the church do more than 'rearrange furniture on the Titanic.' The work to be done is huge, and the will to do it is equally demanding. We know being paralyzed into inaction is not an option, and for people of faith, we have not only a unique, but a compelling moral obligation to care deeply about this creation and its inhabitants. So what can we and our congregations do to be allies, activists and actors who are open to solutions and living into this call? How can our churches be arks of resilience, supporting communities through the spiritual and physical storms of the climate crisis?
