Join the Next “Our Kairos Moment” Discussion – February 18
The next session of Our Kairos Moment: A Study Guide on Earth’s Climate Crisis will take place on Tuesday, February 18, at 4 PM AK / 5 PM PT / 6 PM MT / 7 PM CT / 8 PM ET via Zoom.
This session, “Active Hope and Agents of Change,” will focus on a just transition—how we, as faith communities, can support a shift toward sustainable and equitable solutions. We will briefly review the study guide and invite participants to help record key portions for future use in congregations. Afterward, we will stop recording to allow for an open discussion on best practices for implementing this resource in our communities. No prior attendance is required—everyone is welcome!
