GreenFaith (Rev. Harper)

The featured book is GreenFaith: Mobilizing God's People to Save the Earth by Rev. Fletcher Harper.

• The Compassion Consortium's own Reverend Sarah Bowen will lead the discussion and Q&A with Rev. Harper at this event.

In the book, Harper provides vision, inspiration, and practical tools to help build faith while inhabiting a creation that is at risk. With honesty and candor,

I'm not angry about it. (Greta)

Harper shows that it takes belief and practice (thinking and doing), science and faith (confidence) to sustain us and our planet.

The book gives concrete examples and tips that help people of faith and worship communities engage in Earth care — in bold, life-giving ways. Meetup
