Faith, Science, and Climate Solutions Southeast Speaking Tour

May 15, 2019 by Ted Jackson

June 24 – Chattanooga, TN, Unitarian Universalist Church of Chattanooga, 3224 Navajo Drive at 7:00 p.m.

The first two stops on our speaking tour of Southeastern states in South Carolina and North Carolina (see photos) have been well received and full of insightful, faithful conversations about the intersection of religion and science. With three more stops to go in your states, we hope you will take advantage of this unique opportunity and join us to continue the conversation.

Religion and science are not in opposition on the issue of climate change. Science has a great deal to teach us about both the urgency to act and the solutions that are at hand. Our faith informs the actions that we take to care for Earth and all of its inhabitants. So how do people of faith and conscience seize the moral opportunity to lead on the most important issue of our time?

Join me, Rev. Susan Hendershot, president of Interfaith Power & Light, and Ken Kimmell, president of the Union of Concerned Scientists, as we undertake our first joint speaking tour to have faithful conversations on the intersection of faith, science, and climate solutions. We will be joined by leaders from Interfaith Power & Light state affiliates in each location, providing local context and opportunities for action.

Tour locations and dates:

June 24 – Chattanooga, TN, Unitarian Universalist Church of Chattanooga, 3224 Navajo Drive at 7:00 p.m.
June 25 – Atlanta, GA – Main Auditorium, Jewish Federation of Atlanta, 1440 Spring Street NW at 7:00 p.m.
June 26 – Birmingham, AL, 1500 Daniel Payne Drive at 7:00 p.m.

Hope to see you there!
