Image has text on a primarily dark blue background that says, "I'd love to get your feedback. Would you use a free Advent calendar for Christians with a climate care theme? Let me know how you might use it."

I'm working on a free #climate themed #Advent calendar w/ short daily actions & reflections, loosely tied to #lectionary. 2 questions: how would you use it (personal, church, social etc.) & would you prefer a generic or denominationally-specific version (mainly large US denoms like UMC, Catholic...)

Here's the latest resource I've created for congregations who want to connect faith & our #climatecrisis by using a simple #storytelling framework. If you find it useful, I'd love to hear about your experience!

This is what America's conservative "Christians" are doing to the planet's most vulnerable children.

‘A true free-speech emergency’: alarm over Trump’s ‘chilling’ attacks on media Warning comes as FCC, chaired by Trump ally and Project 2025 author, orders investigations into US media groups

Remember, everything is part of the same story.

They need to destroy our democracy and crush dissent because letting billionaires take over the government in order to steal from us isn't popular and a functioning democracy wouldn't allow it.

An upside-down American flag hangs from El Capitan near Yosemite National Park’s Horsetail Fall on Saturday to protest the thousands of federal job cuts made by President Donald Trump’s administration. Tracy Barbutes/Special to the Chronicle

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Made a new friend today. Deep, open, honest conversation about life, faith, mental health, theology & more. Connection & community: that’s how we find our way through the present & coming turmoil.

Very typical reply. It’s rare to get a letter back that’s little more than a form letter & a chance for them to push their talking points.

I think I’m going to make this my new desktop quote.

I appreciate all the people recommending the Shock Doctrine. I've been thinking about what makes Trump's use of these tactics a little different.

In recent decades, shock tactics were used mainly to rapidly impose neoliberal economic policies. But what Trump is doing goes way beyond that.

This people will literally say it’s game over rather than roll up their sleeves and actually try to do something about the climate crisis, and they think this makes them somehow more honest because its a “hard truth.” But it’s just as unscientific as climate denial.

This says everything about the sad, misogynistic times we are living in:

The new Congress is the first Congress to have *fewer* women than the previous one.

Growing Faith: 6 Biblical Parables on Cultivating Creation Care | Iowa Interfaith Power and Light A free, short-term Bible study for churches about our climate crisis This 6-week, short-term study from Iowa Interfaith Power & Light explores 6 parable ...

I'm excited to announce this new, free, reproducible 6-week Bible study, which uses parables to explore climate change. A rural clergywoman from Iowa wrote it with smaller & rural congregations in mind, & I was the editor. Download it &/or share it with a church leader! iowaipl.org/growing-faith

In the end, I really have just one thing to say about Hegseth, & it’s the same thing I’d say about all of Trump’s appointees (& Trump himself for that matter):

This is honestly the best that America can do?

Wait for it.

It’s not coincidence, it’s climate change.

Oh, and when you’re done, follow the rabbi

What books would you recommend for clergy or other church staff on helping people with eco-anxiety / climate anxiety?

While cleaning, I found a copy of MS Office Small Business 2007 Upgrade edition. Turns out people still buy copies of this on ebay. I’m seriously curious: who are they, and why?

Wonderful post! For the next 3 years, I’m going to be working with cohorts of mostly rural, full-time clergy who want to begin to tackle climate issues in their area. I’m working now on choosing the texts we’ll read together. Which of your books would you suggest might work best for such groups?

If you’re looking for an amazing website host for your nonprofit org, progressive church, environmental small business or other group, you’ll be in good hands with Aboundant. It was my privilege to work with that team for several years & now as part of an org that uses their services.

Seems reasonable.

2024 will be the first full year over 1.5°C. We're lucky there were no major weather events associated with this record.

Oh. Right. Never mind.
