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.
During Part Four, our theme is “Active Hope and Agents of Change.” We will explore our relationship to our home (locally as well as planet earth!) and how to address climate change intersectionally. We will see where climate change exacerbates other justice issues like climate migration and think critically about what a “just transition” for all looks like into a healthier world.
