Of note, I just returned from speaking to Coptic priests in Ethiopia, and will be leading a workshop for them on Ecosystem Services this janauary. And I continue to lecture to USA venues \u2014 information on my website about the project of religion and science at\u00a0www.treefoundation.org<\/a><\/p>\n From Dorothy Boorse:<\/b>\u00a0I am in on two things that might be of interest to the group. The first is an initiative of the LauSanne movement (a largely evangelical Christian but worldwide, not just American) and World Evangelical Alliance (also worldwide) , who called a meeting of scientists and theologians two weeks ago to draft a statement on care of the environment and climate change- in the hopes that this will serve as another key document in the Christian faith community- it is a call for action .<\/p>\n Here is a press release, although I think the call to action is still not released<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.christiantoday.com\/article\/evangelicals.mobilising.church.for.creation.care\/31012.htm<\/a><\/p>\n The second is that the Academy of Evangelical Scientists and Ethicists, a small group that was basically formed when there were so many threats to the endangered species act a decade ago, is getting more active. \u00a0There will be some things coming out of that soon. They might have an interest in partnering.<\/p>\n From Rick Hammer:<\/strong> I thought I would briefly report back with some of the outreach work I have been engaged in and what\u2019s on the horizon. First, I am a member of a moderate Baptist church with a membership of about 1900 here in Texas.\u00a0 I had lunch with my pastor last week to discuss the possibility of me leading and teaching a Sunday evening course on Christian environmental stewardship. He was enthusiastic and the plan is to get this class started this fall. I may have the chance to speak to the entire congregation on a Sunday morning as well. For the class I plan to use Calvin DeWitt\u2019s \u2018 Earthwise: A Guide to Hopeful Creation Care.\u2019 In my writing and teaching I try to bring the perspective of a biologist with an emphasis on what biodiversity is and why it\u2019s important. \u00a0I have written a short\u00a0essay about biodiversity from a Christian Biblical perspective<\/a>\u00a0and had this published in the\u00a0Baptist Standard<\/i>, which is a biweekly publication for all Texas Baptists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NOV. 15, 2012 CALL RESOURCES: Some files for use in Thursday\u2019s call: PresbyEcoStewardsMGregory\u00a0(Megan\u2019s powerpoint) GreenFaithYouthPoemDoll\u00a0(Julie\u2019s slide) also note other resources at:\u00a0http:\/\/nccecojustice.org\/\/ssb.php Call 1: \u00a0Thursday, November 15, 2012, 8:00-9:30pm Eastern\u00a0 Call 2: Tuesday, March 26, 2013, Noon-1:30pm Eastern (webinar) Agenda: 8:00pm-9:30pm* eastern, Thursday, Nov. 15 1) Welcome,\u00a0Updates\u00a0and Announcements 2)\u00a0Outreach reports -Julie Doll (Michigan State), Michigan youth outreach -Joseph Leyda (Leyda Consulting),…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3180,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-partnering-with-faith-communities"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/enjustice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/enjustice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/enjustice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/enjustice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/enjustice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/enjustice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/enjustice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/enjustice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esa.org\/enjustice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
