On April 9th at Maple Hill Farm in Hallowell (just outside of Augusta), please join us for a day to develop a unified response and to clarify the unique role that Maine’s faith communities and others can play in this effort to protect our natural world.
We would like to personally invite you to this special gathering which we are calling “Awaken to Action.” Maine Interfaith Power and Light and Maine Audubon are hosting clergy, lay people, community leaders and others to plan what lies next for responding to a global climate crisis in the making. Following a keynote address by Malcolm Burson, Climate Adaptation Program Manager of the Maine.Department of Environmental Protection, participants will take part in a dynamic group process that will allow participants to identify critical issues and form a consensus around next steps. Among possible topics to be explored:
- the growing ethical challenges posed by climate change & how we respond;
- how faith traditions can act to inform and inspire environmental stewardship; and
- charting a collaborative course towards local and global sustainability.
Please note that we have scholarships available and encourage you to inquire about them (call or email us). To register please click here. We hope to see you there on the 9th!
