Book Release Celebration: Climate Justice, Climate Hope
Book Release Celebration: Climate Justice, Climate Hope

The Reverends Michael Malcom and abby mohaupt have released a new book that acknowledges the stark horrors of climate change while building hope and moral-spiritual agency for a brighter future. Bringing decades of leadership experience in interfaith efforts toward environmental and climate justice, they guide readers along pathways toward a clear-eyed but energizing vision of different ways of being.

Join us to hear from the authors about the writing of the book and the insights it has to offer. The Rev. Michael Malcom is the Executive Director of the People’s Justice Council and Alabama Interfaith Power & Light. The rev. abby mohaupt is the director of the Garrett Collective at Garrett Seminary.

Even if you cannot make the live event, still register, and we will send you a recording.

Taking on the Hard Truths: Level Three - Confronting Whiteness Directly
Taking on the Hard Truths: Level Three - Confronting Whiteness Directly

For congregations that are already engaged in ongoing anti-racism work and are ready to tackle more difficult materials and take more concrete steps, Level Three is for you. This level focuses on facing hard truths and moving from education into visible action. Here, we begin to challenge the symbols, language, and structures that have perpetuated white supremacy, even unknowingly, in our faith communities.

Our Goals for Level Three are to:

  • Recognize and critically examine the symbols, language, and theologies that perpetuate white supremacy within our church.

  • Prepare to move from education into concrete, visible action, including direct community engagement and allyship.

  • Become more equipped to offer solidarity, support, and pastoral care to marginalized communities.
