This interactive workshop introduces Faith in Place and invites people of faith to explore creation care, the sacred call to protect, honor, and nurture the Earth as part of our spiritual practice. Together, we’ll reflect on how environmental justice is not only a moral issue, but a spiritual one.

You will learn:

  • A deeper understanding of Faith in Place’s work across Indiana and the Midwest
  • Inspiring examples of what other congregations are doing
  • Practical steps for launching or expanding environmental efforts
  • Resources to start or grow a Green Team and connect with local support networks
