Summary Quote from Speaker
Even our elected public officials have described our country as being “addicted to oil” and hooked on unlimited growth. Can we imagine our churches as centers of recovery from unsustainable systems and unjust practices that wreak havoc upon the most vulnerable while degrading the whole of creation? To grow a congregational recovery movement, we need spiritually grounded, relationally-connected leaders engaging in deep spiritual practices, mutual support, accountability, education, mentorship, courageous public action and ongoing reflection.
