2 local events

Okay, this is more the kind of thing I meant to post here. Local, accessible, hopeful, doable. Don't know if these will reach anybody who will find them of interest. But this is the kind of thing I want at the least to pass along, and give witness to: it's happening. Right here, we fellow humans are coming together, now and then. Thanks to my old friends at Abq Mennonite for this information.

1. Faith Community Climate Change Breakfast: New Mexico Interfaith Power and Light is hosting a breakfast presentation with discussion on the topic of climate change as an ethical and spiritual matter, Wednesday, February 4, 7:30-8:45 p.m. at Congregation Albert (3800 Louisiana Blvd NE, Albuquerque). Larry Rasmussen, author of Earth Habitat and Earth Community, Earth Ethics, and past Reinhold Neibuhr Professor of Ethics at Union Theological Seminary, will offer a presentation and opportunity for discussion. For those able to stay for a second course, after breakfast we will spend about an hour in follow-up with more detailed discussion exploring how to reach the faith community. Suggested donation of $10 includes breakfast and resource materials. For more info call 266-6966.
