A webinar on “Climate & Peace: Learning from Stories from Around the World” takes place Wednesday, Sept. 25, at 11 a.m. (Eastern time) sponsored jointly by the Church of the Brethren Office of Peacebuilding and Policy, Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), and the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL).
Together, the Church of the Brethren, the Mennonites, and the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) make up the three historic peace churches.
Cornelius Raff, a Brethren Volunteer Service associate in the Office of Peacebuilding and Policy, is co-organizing the online event with Kirstin DeMello from MCC and Daren Caughron from FCNL.
The webinar will equip church members on the intersection of conflict and climate change by hearing from local faith leaders from the Global South telling about how climate change is impacting their communities. Participants also will learn from experienced policy advocate Caughron about how to reach out to their members of Congress to drive legislative change regarding this issue.
