Truth, Healing & Conservation: Tracing the Roots of California Ecocide, Seeking Fruits of Repentance11/22/2021
In this webinar, we will trace the connections between the ecological crisis in the state of California and the attempted genocide and removal of Indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands. Christian denominations are beginning to acknowledge and seek to make amends for the role of the Church in sanctioning this destruction under the Doctrine of Discovery. At the same time, a growing environmental justice movement is recognizing that Indigenous ecological knowledge is essential for land conservation. We will highlight examples of conservation efforts led by Indigenous groups in California, and offer opportunities for faith communities to come together in support of these initiatives.
How can we proclaim the good news of the Gospel in this time of despair and devastation?

Originally delivered for the Presbytery of Baltimore. Recorded October 21, 2021.
