Winning the conversation on creation care and climate change

Purpose: Equip pastors and other faith leaders with answers to common questions on climate change and advise them on how to communicate with climate change skeptics theologically, culturally, and scientifically. 

When: Thursday, May 24; 2 - 3 p.m. EDT

Background: The science is clear and so is the Bible, so why is it still so hard to talk with Christians about climate change? Come listen to some of the nation’s leading experts discuss how they answer tough questions and effectively communicate their faith and commitment to climate justice.
