January 13 @ 7:00 pm – 8:15 pm
Join us on Tuesday, January 13, 7:00-8:15pm, for an informative webinar that equips people of faith with the tools, confidence and spiritual grounding needed to connect with elected representatives on caring for creation and advocating for a fair and affordable energy system. The webinar is sponsored by Interfaith Creation Care of the Triangle and is co-sponsored by the NC Council of Churches Eco-justice Connection.
Rev. Susannah Tuttle, Director of the NCCC Eco-Justice Connection, will offer this virtual practical training. She received a Masters of Divinity degree with an emphasis on ecological ethics from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA.and joined the staff of the NCCC in 2011.
Whether you are new to advocacy or already engaged, this training will strengthen your ability to speak up for policies that protect the earth. It is a faith-rooted approach advocating for climate issues and environmental justice. We hope it will inspire you to join a small group that builds relationships with your representatives during the year ahead! Here’s the general webinar outline:
