Creating the Climate Church: Spirituality & Climate Change with Rev. Jim Antal and Karenna Gore

In that calling, the Energy & Environmental Justice Ministry of the Congregational Church of San Mateo (CCSM) has organized a free upcoming online event called, Creating the Climate Church. The intent of this climate event is to explore the intersection of spirituality and climate change & to identify the steps a church community can take to address the crisis across all aspects of its ministry.

This special event will be held over Zoom on Thu Jan 28th from 5:00-6:30 PM PST / 8:00-9:30 PM EST. The 90-minute program will feature a panel discussion moderated by Gary H. White, founder of Extinction Rebellion San Mateo, Education Chair of Climate Reality Project Bay Area Chapter, and member of E&EJ. Immediately following the discussion, a Q&A session will be held with the audience and our panelists.

Our expert panel will include Rev. Jim Antal, Special Advisor on Climate Justice to the President of the United Church of Christ who will be making a return appearance to CCSM for this event. Rev. Antal is an ordained UCC minister, a climate activist and the author of the celebrated book, Climate Church, Climate World.

The panel will also include Ms. Karenna Gore, Founder and Director of the Center for Earth Ethics at the Union Theological Seminary in New York City. Ms. Gore is a climate activist, author, and journalist as well as the eldest daughter of former U.S. Vice President Al Gore. We are extremely fortunate to have both of these prominent spiritual climate leaders join us.

All are encouraged to register and attend this special event. Once you have registered, you will later receive a follow-up email containing the Zoom link to use for the event. We look forward to seeing you at this special virtual CCSM climate event. Thank you.
