SUMMARY:On Water and Faith: Ministry in the Time of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:On Water and Faith: Ministry in the Time of Climate Change May 31 – June 2\, 2018 Union Theological Seminary – New York To train\, support\, and empower faith leaders\, the Center for Earth Ethics is once again partnering with the Climate Reality Project to train 30-50 faith leaders from around the country to better address the ecological crisis in their own communities. Ministry in the Time of Climate Change requires an open-hearted approach that embodies the diversity of our country and plurality of ideas we’ll need to mitigate the worst effects of the ecological crisis.              \nOn Faith And Water: Ministry in the time of Climate Change May 31- June 2\, 2018 Union Theological Seminary Thursday May 31\, 2018 9:00 AM  Registration and Check-In 9:45 AM  Hastings/121st Street entrance 9:45 AM       \nOpening Ceremony 10:15 AM    Location: Quad or James Chapel Organizer: CEE Team 10:30 AM \nPlenary: Where We Are\, Where We Need to Go  11:45 AM From increased storm severity to crippling droughts\, it is clear the climate is changing\, affecting water systems that all life depends on. In the midst of this change\, fossil fuel interests continue to draw and poison groundwater while fracking\, putting more heat-trapping pollution in the air. There are also efforts to privatize and commoditize water\, even selling it back to the very drought-ridden communities from where it is pumped. What insights and practical solutions do faith communities have to offer to address this? These are the questions that will frame the whole conference. \n\nModerator: Karenna Gore – Center for Earth Ethics\nTiokasin Ghosthorse – First Voices Indigenous Radio\nKartik Chandran – Columbia University\nMariama White-Hammond – Bethel AME Church Boston\n\n 12:00 PM   Lunch – Social Hall 1:45 PM  \nOptional River Walk  1:30 PM    \nOn Faith and Water: Learning from Our Traditions 4:00 PM  During this session we will split into four groups and rotate between four different speakers on topics designed to deepen our understanding of faith and water.

SUMMARY:Catherine Flowers to Speak on Panel with UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty & Human Rights in Geneva

ALSTON’S ORAL STATEMENT to the 38th session of the Human Rights Council\nGeneva\, 22 June 2018 \nThe Trump Administration inherited an economy with the highest rate of income inequality in the Western world: 40 million people (one third of them children) live in poverty and one person in eight depends on food stamps. In response\, it has adopted massive tax cuts for the wealthy and set about cutting benefits and entitlements across the board for those living in poverty. Following the presentation to the Human Rights Council on June 21 of a damning report on the United States by the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights\, Professor Philip Alston\, this panel will discuss the human rights implications of these developments\, especially in terms of gender and racial disparities and the functioning of American democracy. Join us for a discussion with leaders in the field of human rights and anti-poverty work in the United States\, moderated by The Guardian newspaper. \nPanel discussion: \n \n  \nPhilip Alston\, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights and John Norton Pomeroy Professor of Law\, New York University School of Law \n\n  \n  \n \nCatherine Flowers\, Rural Development Manager\, the Equal Justice Initiative; Director and Founder\, Alabama Centre for Rural Enterprise; CEE Director of Environmental Justice & Civic Engagement \n  \n  \n\n \n  \nKenneth Roth\, Executive Director\, Human Rights Watch \n  \n  \n \n\n  \nRev.
