Refugia Newsletter #75

In a few weeks, I look forward to traveling to Maine in order to serve as a keynote speaker for the BTS Center’s Convocation, September 26-27. The theme is “Hope in Small Places: Becoming People of Refugia Faith.” My good friends at the BTS Center are organizing a thoughtfully designed “Online Companions” track so that people can attend remotely (in-person registration is full). You can find more information here.
You might also be interested in joining the BTS Center for their online book study of Brian McLaren’s new book, Life After Doom, with meetings taking place in October and November. In other opportunities, the Evangelical Environmental Network is hosting an online Prayer Service for the Care of Creation on September 5. This is in connection with the ecumenical, worldwide Season of Creation, which runs from September 1-October 4. If you want to know more about the Season of Creation, you can now watch the webinar recently hosted by Creation Justice Ministries in partnership with One Home One Future. This 1-hour video is a great way to “meet” some terrific leaders in the faith/climate space and learn about further resources. Shout-out to my friend Derrick Weston, who is hosting the webinar!
