Webinar Video: Daily Ecology in a World Where Everything Is Connected

/in , , , , /by

The February Journeying With the Laudato Si’ Action Platform webinar is about “Daily Ecology in a World Where Everything Is Connected”, related to the Laudato Si’ Goal of “Adoption of Sustainable Lifestyles”. In his encyclical letter Laudato Si’, Pope Francis invites us to an interior change of heart that can overcome our fragmented way of seeing, experiencing, and interacting with the world around us. He reminds us that we are deeply linked to nature and to one another. How do we rediscover that connectedness, and how might that impact our everyday life? Representatives of the Families and Individuals sector will speak about the social dimension of ecology, and how they discover the many ways Gospel love leads them to answer the needs of those around them and the suffering planet.

The Spanish language free download of the Faith Climate Action Week kit is now available!

Spanish-speaking communities are especially concerned about climate change according to a study by Yale Climate Communications, and are more willing to engage in climate activism than their white counterparts because of their greater exposure and vulnerability to extreme weather events due to climate change.

El tema de 2023, Vivir la Regla de Oro: La transición justa a una economía de energía limpia examina nuestra responsabilidad de hacer la transición a fuentes de energía que salvaguarden nuestro hogar común, y cómo nuestras religiones nos llaman a responder con soluciones justas para todos. Los datos son del 14 al 23 de abril de 2023.
