“It’s no longer enough to shrink our personal carbon footprint or to green our congregation. These are good things to do, but many of us have been doing them for decades, and the earth has only grown hotter. We’ve got to do more.

Personal transformation, community transformation, institutional transformation, and political transformation go hand in hand. None can succeed without the rest.”
