We explore food and climate justice through the voices of 13 leaders—including Indigenous leaders, pastors, farmers, and non-profit staff—from across the U.S., Canada, and Kenya, who share their insights and expertise.

The series will help you understand our relationship with creation, the intersection of that relationship with our faith, and a Christian response to food and climate justice. It’s our hope that it motivates people of faith and faith communities to take action.

This Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of faith-rooted individuals working in the areas of mercy, justice, and community development, who have a desire to learn from, network with, and share stories, experiences, tools, and challenges with one another. Using Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) principles, we’ll discover faith as an asset as we build on the strengths in our communities, addressing shared or recurring challenges and how we turn them into opportunities.

Is your congregation interested in helping make your neighborhood and community a great place for ALL to live in, to be proud of, and to thrive in, particularly those who have been marginalized? Coaching is available to help mobilize your church to love, listen to, and engage with your neighbors, neighborhoods, and local organizations as you seek to cultivate a place of flourishing. Sessions will feature learning, stories, reflection, discussions, and practical assignments to put our learning into action.

If interested, please fill out the contact form at the bottom of this webpage.
