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 Three, our theme is “The Future of Farming.” We will think about our connection to our food and how sustainability can be a guiding principle in our food and agriculture. We will address how climate change manifests generationally, with fewer and older farmers, but also climate anxiety in younger generations.
