Jim Mulholland, Executive Director of CoCoDa
(Companion Community Development Alternatives)

CoCoDa is a recipient of our Doolittle Grants. The conversation will offer us a firsthand look at the work this organization does with the people of El Salvador and Nicaragua, along with learning about the wonderful people Jim has met along the way. CoCoDA recently won the 2020 El Salvador Energy Globe Award with the Sun and Water Initiative . "This award recognizes the responsibility of human beings to be more creative and thoughtful in our care of the environment." CoCoDa and their collaborating partners are "committed to creating sustainable projects in communities where there are scarce resources and mighty dreams." https://www.cocoda.org/

Hope & Heresy
Podcast with Rev. Peggy Now on Website

Hosted by our very own Reverend Peggy Clarke and our neighbor Reverend Sarah Lenzi of the Unitarian Society of Ridgewood, New Jersey, Hope & Heresy is a podcast for everyday people who want to live meaningfully and ask big questions about our complicated world without arbitrary doctrine or oppressive religious practice. Each episode examines a contemporary topic through the lens of liberal religion and ends with a moment of hope and a way to get involved in your community. 
 
You can listen to the episodes of Hope & Heresy
or on your favorite podcast service (Apple, Spotify, etc).
