Red Deer Lake United Church will host a public conversation about the spiritual impact of climate change on Friday, February 21, 2020 at 7:30 pm.
Rev. Nick Coates and Rev. Dr. Bill Phipps, former head of the United Church of Canada, will explore how climate change has a dramatic influence on all dimensions of our lives, including our level of consumption, our relationships with one other and the Earth, the design of our cities, and how we understand the gift of Creation.
“Climate change is a spiritual and ethical matter. It prompts compelling questions about our interdependence with all life, particularly our relationship with our planetary home,” said Rev. Coates, Minister at Red Deer Lake United Church. “It challenges our fundamental values.”
Rev. Phipps is an internationally-known speaker with a passion for social justice and the need to take action on climate change, not out of guilt but out of gratitude for this beautiful, sacred world.
Inspired Conversations: Public Topics of Spiritual Interest is a series of free events at Red Deer Lake United Church featuring an expert who will discuss a relevant and important topic facing our world from a spiritual perspective. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Red Deer Lake United Church is located a short drive southwest of Calgary on Highway 22X.
