To Register (for free): http://faithinaction.eventbrite.com
Please join us for a multi-faith Retreat to explore the key spiritual resources that equip and inspire us to protect the environment, and to learn how we might translate those resources into effective action in the public sphere.
2pm - 3:15pm: Multi-faith Dialogue on Protecting the Environment: Key Spiritual Resources
In the first segment, Bishop Linda Nicholls, Shaikh Habeeb Alli, Rabbi Roy Tanenbaum will assist us in exploring the ecological-spiritual resources from Judaism, Islam, and Christianity that support faith communities to protect the environment.
3:30 - 5pm: Applied Spirituality & Taking Action
In our second segment, we will be joined by Keith Stewart, a contributor to the Green Budget Coalition, who will assist us in examining how we as members of faith communities can translate these spiritual resources into effective and strategic action on climate change and environmental degradation in the public sphere.
Co-sponsored by the Green Awakening Network, the Diocesan Environmental Working Group of the Anglican Diocese of Toronto, the Canadian Council of Imams, and the OIKOS Network at the Faculty of Social Work of the University of Calgary.
