SUMMARY:Ministry In The Time Of Climate Change 2019
DESCRIPTION:The 2019 Minister’s Training will be held at Methodist Theological School in Ohio in partnership with MTSO\, the Climate Reality Project and the Initiative for Food and AgriCultural Transformation at Ohio State University.\n\n\n \n \n“The soil is the great connector of lives\, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector\, by which disease passes into health\, age into youth\, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community\, because without proper care for it we can have no life.”  – Wendell Berry\, The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture \n \nTechnological advances in the 20th and the 21st century offer many American consumers easy access to cheap and abundant food\, much of which is traced to supply and labor chains around the world. The same advances have resulted in the depletion of soils\, the overuse of fertilizers\, herbicides\, and pesticides\, greenhouse gas pollution\, as well as increasing obesity and food related health issues. And within this system\, millions in the U.S. and billions more across the globe go hungry each day. Food deserts persist across urban and rural America\, and upwards of 41 million Americans are food insecure\, 13 million of whom are children. This system keeps externalities hidden\, supply high\, and prices low affecting the long term health of soils\, water\, human beings and wildlife. \nAs climate change becomes more pronounced\, communities around the world will have to become more self-sufficient and sustainable. This new model of resilience may entail some hardship\, but it also brings the opportunity to create new\, more robust community relationships with the land and one another. It is here that faith communities have unique opportunity to guide others by providing space\, pastoral care\, education and leadership. \n\nThis year’s conference will teach faith leaders how our current food system is contributing to the climate crisis\, explore the impact climate change is having on farming and food security\, and help empower attendees to take action on these issues in a way that aligns with their deepest values. The training is hosted by the Center for Earth Ethics\, The Climate Reality Project\, Methodist Theological School in Ohio (MTSO)\, and the Initiative for Food and AgriCultural Transformation at Ohio State University. \nThe training will take place at MTSO May 30th-June 1. \nApplications: \nApplications are open for the 2019 program. Application deadline is April 15\, 2019. Applicants will be notified soon after. Click here to submit an application. \nTravel and Accommodations: \nFor information about travel and local accommodations\, please click here. \nQuestions:  \nPlease contact: Genie Cooper \n\n\n\n\n\nby Andrew Schwartz

SUMMARY:2019 Pulitzer Conference: Beyond Religion
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the Pulitzer Center’s annual conference spotlights some of our best journalism projects in leading news outlets to explore a theme that illuminates the most pressing issues of our time. With our in-depth\, prize-winning journalism as the focus\, we bring together diverse perspectives on reporting and how global issues affect us at home. \nThis year we’re exploring  the intersection of religion with climate change\, global health\, conflict and peacebuilding\, gender rights\, fundamentalism\, and much more. Join us for a conversation with journalists\, policymakers\, academics\, and other experts. \nBeyond Religion and the Pulitzer Center’s reporting and outreach on religion is supported by the Henry Luce Foundation. Additional related reporting and outreach is supported by Humanity United (Peace and Conflict)\, the MacArthur Foundation\, Omidyar Network (Property Rights)\, The Rockefeller Foundation\, and individual donors dedicated to raising awareness of critical global issues. \nCEE’s Original Caretakers Program Director\, Mindahi Bastida Munoz\, will participate in a panel discussion on Religion and the Environment with Tiokasin Ghosthorse and Kalyanee Mam.  Details below. \nPanel 3: Religion & The Environment \nThis fall\, a special Synod of Bishops for the Pan-Amazonian region will examine evangelical approaches to climate change in the region.This reflects a growing movement within the Catholic church to take on issues related to land use\, biodiversity\, and rights of indigenous people. Meanwhile indigenous voices from the Amazon and globally–including here in the United States–have been leading voices in the struggle to respect and protect the environments they have long called home. What can we learn from these “guardians of the earth”? How do other religions intersect with the environment? And what is the potential for interfaith collaboration in the protection of our planet? \nModerator: Mary Evelyn Tucker\, Co-Director\, Forum on Religion and Ecology\, Yale University \nPanelists: \n\nKalyanee Mam\,* filmmaker\, lawyer and storyteller\, “Fight for Areng Valley” featured on New York Times Op-Docs\nTiokasin Ghosthorse\, speaker on peace\, indigenous and Mother Earth perspectives\, Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota\nMindahi C.

SUMMARY:SacredWater: Our First Medicine with Grandmother Carole
DESCRIPTION:The event is co-sponsored by Water Is Life Walks\, Schaghticoke First Nations\, Beyond the 7th Fire\, Learning Lab for Resiliency\, Tribal Harmony\, Center for Earth Ethics and the Hudson River Maritime Museum. \nRiverkeeper invites the public to a free event to welcome Grandmother Carole\, who is walking from the source of Muhheakantuck (the Hudson River) in the Adirondack Mountains to its mouth at New York Harbor. \nThis is Grandmother Carole’s 9th Water is Life Walk\, and the first for the Hudson. Her “healing walk for the Sacred Water” began June 3 and is to conclude July 2\, when she delivers water gathered from the headwaters to New York Harbor as part of her mission to rebuild the human-to-water connection. \nThe event will provide people the opportunity to hear Grandmother Carole’s stories\, ask questions\, and participate in a blending of the waters Unity Ceremony. Participants are requested to bring a small container of water from their home and/or a free-flowing source of water near their home for this ceremony. \nThe event will also feature two short films by National Geographic filmmaker Jon Bowermaster: Source to Sea\, which explores how Riverkeeper’s Water Quality Program answers the question\, “How’s the water?” and Undamming the Hudson\, which showcases Riverkeeper’s efforts to restore natural habitat by eliminating obsolete dams throughout the Hudson River Estuary. \n“The water remembers everything from the beginning of time\,” Grandmother Carole has said. “The total amount of water that exists on the planet – in the oceans\, lakes\, rivers\, ice caps\, groundwater\, and atmosphere – is a fixed quantity. The water that existed then exists now.” \n“Each step is a prayer\,” she says of her walks. “Praying for the SacredWater is praying for everything and everyone\, for nothing lives without Water. The theme for the Water is Life Water Walk has been the same since 2003: Ni guh Izhi chigay Nibi onji. I will do it for the water. All people\, all faiths\, one prayer\, for the SacredWater is the connecting source of life\, the great unifier.” \nFor more information\, contact Rebecca Martin\, Riverkeeper Water Quality Program Coordinator at rmartin@riverkeeper.org or 845/750-7295. \nAbout Grandmother Carole:\nCarole has Penobscot lineage through her mom’s mother but was not raised in the tribe. Her grandmother did teach her at least one prayer and possibly other cultural rituals but never explained them as cultural heritage. In her 30s\, Carole found an old family Bible that told the truth. She learned more of her Grandmother’s story and began a path of reclamation. At the age of 35\, she began to decolonize her ways of thinking and being. “As a mother of two and grandmother of four\, I came to honor the Elders in my life who have chosen to see my heart and share knowledge and lifeways with me along this journey we call life. When Sacred Pipes were passed to me\, I learned that their teachings are in fact responsibilities to the People: to the Seven Generations coming up behind me. Bundles are not things\, they are responsibilities. “I have been honored to have many teachers along the ?ha?kú Lúta (Red Road) and began walking the Wiwá?ya?g Wa?hípi (Sundance) way of life in 1999.” Carole is a Pipe Carrier and Bundle Keeper. Carole was taken to the Water while on her Hanblecheya (vision quest). In 2011\, she danced her last Sundance and began her journey for the SacredWater. Inspired by the Water Walks of Grandmother Josephine Mandamin and the words and work of Grandmothers Mona Polacca and Agnus Pilgrim\, Carol took up the call of Grandmother Mona Polacca for all women to come back to the Water. Carole walks to help heal the SacredWater and rebuild the human-to-water connection. \nAbout Riverkeeper:\nRiverkeeper’s mission is to protect the environmental\, recreational and commercial integrity of the Hudson River and its tributaries\, and to safeguard the drinking water of nine million New York City and Hudson Valley residents Riverkeeper focuses on three overarching problems facing Hudson River communities: Restoration of the Hudson River ecosystem\, with particular emphasis on minimizing fish kills and water pollution; Protection of New York City’s drinking water supply; and Improving public access to the Hudson River. \nAbout Jon Bowermaster/ Oceans 8 Films:\nWriter\, filmmaker and adventurer\, Jon is the executive producer of Oceans 8 Films.
