A MORAL IMPERATIVE:
Our member congregations - each in their own way, inspired by their own
faith - share and embrace this moral imperative.
They participate in preach-ins, form green teams, become learning centers,
secure energy audits, upgrade energy systems, install solar panels, plant
pollinator gardens, have veggie potlucks, host climate conversations, explore
eco-systems, and advocate for a safer and healthier, more just and equitable,
future for their children, for ALL children, and the generations to come.
