What if trees could tell the truth about justice in our communities and show us a way forward?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the United States, tree canopy maps trace the same fault lines as historic redlining, revealing how access to shade, clean air, and climate resilience has been shaped by systemic injustice. The Canopy of Creation<\/em> invites the church to look up, tell the truth about tree apartheid, and rediscover trees as gifts, witnesses, and instruments of healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this launch webinar, Creation Justice Ministries will introduce its 2026 annual resource, <\/strong>The Canopy of Creation: Trees, Faith, and the Work of Justice<\/strong><\/em>, and equip faith leaders with theological grounding, worship tools, and practical pathways for action.<\/strong> Participants will explore how trees are woven through Scripture, how tree equity connects climate resilience and racial justice, and how congregations can faithfully engage in planting, protection, and advocacy rooted in relationship and listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
