MA Bishops declare a Climate Emergency!
On March 23, 2021 the Massachusetts Bishops declared a Climate Emergency, joining many Anglicans and other denominations that have already done so. You can read their full declaration and the four areas of engagement advocated here. Their statement contains a lot of guidance as well as links to helpful information and organizations. This will guide us in our efforts to make the changes that are needed in our own lives and our communities. We hope you will make time to read it. It is a timely challenge to act now, before it is too late. To summarize, they ask us to Pray, Learn, Act, and Advocate for a sustainable climate.
Good Shepherd Film Series
Following the Bishops’ recommendations and in the spirit of Earth Day April 22, , we are joining with Interfaith Power and Light in using the movie Kiss the Ground to learn about our planet’s soil. See our earlier announcement for a more detailed description of the movie.
Resources: www.interfaithpowerandlight.org . Click on “Get Involved” and then “Upcoming Events” which will take you to “Faith Climate Action Week”. This gives you the opportunity to view the movie for free between April 10-26 and provides other resources. Otherwise the movie is available on Netflix.
We encourage you to watch Kiss the Ground and to join us to discuss it on Sunday April 11 from 7:00 to-8:15 pm, via zoom.
