Protecting Creation: How Faith Communities Mobilize for the Environment
Tuesday, December 08, 2015 at 12:00 to 01:30 PM

People and communities of faith contribute to environmental causes, both by stewardship of their own properties and by advocating for environmental protections as a tenet of their faith. Pope Francis' encyclical has raised awareness of the role of faith leaders in calling for a range of environmental reforms. Three Maryland organizations that support activism in faith communities will share their work with us.
