A Thank You gift from IPL to you!

PL is grateful to our congregations and supporters and is offering this fabulous film as a token of our appreciation this Thanksgiving.

Screening dates will be November 19 – December 2. You will be able to view it online at home through IPL registration.

“Deeply moving and laugh-out-loud funny, Mission: Joy is a documentary with unprecedented access to the unlikely friendship of two international icons who transcend religion: His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu. In their final joint mission, these self-described mischievous brothers give a master class in how to create joy in a world that was never easy for them. They offer neuroscience-backed wisdom to help each of us live with more joy, despite circumstances.

Inspired by the New York Times bestseller The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World, the film showcases the exchange between these two Nobel Peace Prize winners that led to that book.”

National IPL: ‘Build Back Better a Good Start; More Needed to Safeguard Creation’

Interfaith Power & Light Statement on Build Back Better Act Framework Agreement Announcement

Washington, DC– President Biden announced a framework agreement for the Build Back Better Act, that will deliver historic investments in climate action, clean energy, and environmental justice. The bill will create jobs and drive economic opportunity while cutting the carbon pollution that causes climate change.

In response, Interfaith Power & Light’s President Rev. Susan Hendershot released this statement:

“It is the moral responsibility of our nation, and our sacred task as people of faith, to care for our neighbors, our common home, and to protect our children’s future. The faith community has called on President Biden and Congress to deliver bold climate and environmental justice investments that match the scale of the climate crisis and our communities’ needs.

The Build Back Better Act is a good start to delivering those investments, but we know more is needed to safeguard Creation and to achieve justice for the communities, disproportionately Black, Indigenous, and people of color, who are bearing the brunt of fossil fuel pollution. We now look to Congress to pass this bill with urgency and continue to take action to address the climate crisis at the scale it needs to be addressed. We look forward to continuing to work with the administration on its “whole of government” approach, and additional actions to curb emissions from vehicles, oil and gas infrastructure, and other sources.”

About the film

Emmy nominated “Other Side of the Hill” explores the impacts of a changing climate in rural Eastern Oregon – as seen through the eyes of local leaders on the ground. From innovative timber operations in Wallowa County to large-scale solar in Lakeview, we amplify the voices of rural communities often left unheard. In a time of unprecedented cultural divide between rural and urban Oregon, we find common ground in an urgency to address a changing landscape.
