May All Be One and Arizona Interfaith Power and Light Present:
The Cry of the Earth • The Cry of the Poor
A Virtual Exploration of Pope Francis’ call to environmental action to all people of good will, Laudato Si’ (Blessed Be)
Four panelists (a spiritual leader, an environmentalist, a scholar, and a student activist) will tell the story how they each became eco-advocates and how Laudato Si’ inspires and informs their life and work (the “story of me”). Together they will discuss what difference Pope Francis’ encyclical makes for our lives and culture (the story of us”), and how listening to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor is relevant to us today as our cities and our planet burn (the “story of now”).
Panelist Bios
On Tuesday, July 7, 4:00 p.m., we will host a follow-up zoom webinar to give participants an opportunity to narrate their own stories of call and advocacy inspired by hearing the call of the earth and the call of the poor. We will use the teaching of Marshall Ganz: The story of me. The story of us. The story of now!
May All Be One joins with AZIPL for this webinar.
