10am: Worship lead by The Rev. Dr. Jim Antal
2pm: Living in A Climate Crisis World- A Call to hope and Actions
Join us for Worship and an inspiring talk by author and speaker Jim Antal, exploring the profound moral and theological challenge of our time.
God has granted each of us the opportunity to address the greatest moral crisis humanity has ever faced. We will examine not only the most recent science, but also our grief over the loss of our home. We will ponder how a few generations of humans have reaped immeasurable profits by devastating God’s great gift of creation as they built the modern world. We will see how we are living amidst a theological emergency that compels us to confront a polycrisis consisting of (at least) the climate crisis, the abandonment of truth, science and history in favor of alternative facts and conspiracy theories, the ascendency of white Christian nationalism, and the rise of authoritarian plutocratic leadership. And we will receive God’s call to faithfully engage a new vocation as we respond to the long emergency.
Jim Antal serves as Special Advisor on Climate Justice to the General Minister and President of the United Church of Christ. The revised and updated 2nd edition of Antal’s book, CLIMATE CHURCH, CLIMATE WORLD, is being read by hundreds of churches.
