From GreenFaith (http://greenfaith.org):
Reflecting on gratitude for life on this beautiful planet often generates concern—worry about the damage that climate change is doing, especially to the most vulnerable among us. It feels like such a big challenge that sometimes it’s hard to know what to do.
As persons of faith, we also know that these moments offer an opportunity for transformation. For many of us, sitting down with others and reflecting openly is always a powerful, positive way to go from “stuck” to “started.”
We invite you to host a Living the Change Supper or a conversation in your faith community.
Living the Change focuses on making a change in our own lives as a vital part of the path to a sustainable future. Of course, this needs to happen together with institutional and systemic changes … but we also know that most of us are simply consuming in unsustainable ways. We need to transform our own lives and learn how to “live the change” day to day.
We’re bringing together friends and neighbors of diverse faiths and spiritualities for climate-friendly events around the world during the second annual Time for Living the Change. These gatherings let us reflect, share, and make a real difference together. We invite you to organize an event in your faith community today.
We’ve developed a great toolkit to help you organize your own Living the Change Supper or guided conversation, which has everything you’ll need to create a really special event — discussion guides, social media tools, even some delicious plant-based recipes. By downloading this helpful toolkit, you will:
- Learn which actions matter most for the climate crisis (hint: diet, transportation and home energy use are key)
- Share your feelings and concerns about the challenges of making a change in your own life and in your local community
- Have an opportunity to make a personal resolution — a commitment to walk more gently on the Earth.
We will also provide support through our trainings, our community engagement, and broader opportunities for reflection and action.
You’re invited to become part of our transformative climate movement! Will you join us?
We are answering the climate challenge by reconnecting with our deepest values and making changes ourselves. This personal commitment will enable us to go much farther than ever before. By changing our own lives, we can change the world. Will you join us on this journey?
We are Living the Change. We invite you to join us.
