SUMMARY:Our Kairos Moment: Climate Change as a Public Health Crisis
DESCRIPTION:In June 2024\, the ELCA released “Our Kairos Moment: A Study Guide on Earth’s Climate Crisis.” Over the next four months\, Lutherans Restoring Creation will facilitate a study group on this guide during our connections call time\, each hour focusing on one part (of four) of the study guide. We hope that by going through the guide ourselves\, that participants will gain familiarity and confidence with the study guide and will be able to implement it in their own congregations and communities. \nDuring Part Two\, our theme is “Climate Change as a Public Health Crisis.” We will think about how climate change affects our community and global “neighbors\,” emphasizing the need for solidarity and intergenerational work. We will also discuss worker safety and heat protections for outdoor workers\, leading to direct policy action! \nRegister here! \n
