Moderator invites preparation for District Conference 2016
At the 2016 District Conference one of our keynote speakers will be Sister Lucy Slinger, a Franciscan Sister of Perpetual Adoration based out of La Crosse, Wisconsin and an ecological advocate. The website for her ministry is: https://www.fspa.org/content/ministries/ecological-advocacy
She has asked that the Church of the Brethren in Western Plains be collectively intentional about watching some videos to prepare us for her ministry next summer. I encourage your churches, small groups, youth groups, peer groups, community groups, etc., to find the time to set aside and watch and discuss the following videos.
- Suzuki Speaks (David Suzuki)
- I AM (Tom Shadyac)
- Journey of the Universe (Brian Thomas Swimme & Mary Evelyn Tucker)
- After Conference she has suggested watching, Wisdom to Survive: Climate Change, Capitalism & Community (Old dog documentaries)
Most of these videos are available either used, on half.com or amazon.com, or can be ordered new quite reasonably. I also have copies of each. Please contact the District office if you would like to borrow one. Thank you!
