"Earth’s Lessons" (April 19, 2020)
On April 22,1970 “teach-ins” launched the first Earth Day. Fifty years later, voices from across the globe are demanding that we wake up, double down, and respond more quickly to the climate crisis. “Climate change is a timed test” (McKibben) and the 2020s will be our exam. This is neither a test of individual purity, nor an exam we can pass alone. In this time of trauma and possibility, what are we learning? How can our faith help us to answer this existential call?
