SUMMARY:Religion & Environment: An Interfaith Exploration of Conservation and Environmentalism
DESCRIPTION:Click HERE to registerJoin the New Canaan Land Trust and Interfaith Council of New Canaan in an interfaith exploration of conservation and environmentalism. Centered around the three Abrahamic faiths\, this program will explore the different ways that religion tasks us with protecting and stewarding the earth. We welcome community members of all faiths to join us. \nThe program will begin with a lecture from Drs. Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim\, professors at Yale University\, and Co-Directors of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology. Their presentation will link conservation and environmentalism to the teachings of many of the world’s religions. Drs. Tucker and Grim will also help us to understand how different faiths interpret and and ask us to respond to the environmental issues that we face today. \nFollowing the lecture\, we will host a panel discussion with faith leaders from in and around New Canaan. The panel will be moderated by Reverend Stephanie Johnson\, a former student of Drs. Tucker and Grim\, who has spent many years working at the intersection of theology and environmentalism and facilitates faith-based environmental programs. Additional information about the panel is below. \nThis program will be hosted via Zoom Webinar. Due to the Omicron surge\, we are no longer offering in-person attendance. \nClick HERE to RegisterFeatured Lecturers \nMary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim teach at Yale School of the Environment and Yale Divinity School.
