Prophetic Preaching, Prayer, and Practice

For those who may be hesitant to ask their pastor to preach on climate (and for clergy who may be reluctant), here's some motivation from the PRRI/AAR Religion, Values, and Climate Change Survey: of people worshiping in white mainline Protestant churches, only 10% of them report that their pastor speaks of climate change "often", and only 20% report that their pastor discusses climate change "sometimes."  In black Protestant and in Hispanic Catholic congregations, people report that their pastor speaks about climate change much more frequently. 
   With Your Church

 

The New Awakening - A Season of Prophetic Climate Witness  through Preaching, Prayer, and Practice hopes to have at least 70% of New England congregations hear a sermon on climate change.  Once your pastor signs up, tell friends who attend other churches about this important opportunity, and support them as they invite their pastor to  sign up.
