Plastic Jesus: Real Faith in a Synthetic World (Earth Day Sunday 2024)

1/31/2024

 
Everywhere we look in our culture you will find plastic.
It surrounds our food, it makes up our technology and it is a standard element in our household items. Unfortunately, it is also overflowing from our landfills, floating in our waters and polluting our soil. More and more, you can even find it in our own bodies and those of other living creatures. There have even been traces of plastic found in breast milk. Despite the fact that we have learned the harms of plastics, we are steadily increasing our production of the material and integrating it into more and more items. Plastic is everywhere!
One place where you will not find plastic, however, is in the Bible.
This resource is designed to help congregations think more deeply about the ways that plastics impact our lives and God's creation. It is also intended to equip people of faith to take actions to address this epidemic in faithful and practical ways.
​Download this resource to find stories of individuals and communities making a positive impact, sermon starters to spark meaningful discussions in your church, worship resources to unite in prayer and reflection, and actionable steps to address the plastic crisis in your life, community and our world.

Climate Justice on Sacred Ground: The Role of Church Lands in Resilience and Adaptation

3/26/2021

 
“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” - Matthew 13:31-32

The land that our churches inhabit is holy land. The seeds we sow—both literally and metaphorically—can flourish into beautiful hubs of life and diversity long after we leave. In a time of climate crisis, church lands can be a powerful force of resilience and refuge. On this webinar, you’ll hear inspiring stories of land regeneration, transformation, and adaptation in the face of the storm of the climate crisis, and gain some tools to leverage your own church land for climate resilience. Join us in sowing the seeds that some day, like a mustard seed, might grow into a hub of life.

Speakers Include:
Dr. Norman Wirzba - Gilbert T. Rowe Distinguished Professor of Theology at Duke University, and Senior Fellow at Duke's Kenan Institute for Ethics
Rev. Dr. Randy Woodley - Distinguished Professor of Faith & Culture, Portland Seminary. Cherokee descendant. Public theologian and co-sustainer at Eloheh Indigenous Center for Earth Justice and Eloheh Farm.
The Rev. Diana Carroll - Rector, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Annapolis, MD
​
Facilitated by Avery Davis Lamb, Resilience Program Coordinator for Creation Justice Ministries.
