Your end of the year donation will help us continue the work we have been engaged in and efforts we have supported:
- PEC members and leaders are standing with the Standing Rock Sioux to protest the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
- We advocated for fossil fuel divestment and five other earth-protecting overtures at the 2016 General Assembly.
- The Eco-stewards Program brought young adults to Seattle in June to contemplate the intersection of environmental issues and the Christian faith.
For 2017, we are currently planning our national biennial conference, September 26 – 29, at Menucha Conference Center overlooking the Columbia River Gorge, near Portland Oregon. We will be listening to indigenous voices from the Columbia Watershed as we focus on eco-justice issues related to water and climate change. New Testament scholar Dr. Barbara Rossing will be the keynote speaker. A pre-conference Environmental Justice Immersion will offer a unique experience of learning from indigenous tribes most affected by environmental injustice, September 25– 26.
