Creation Care resources7/24/2024 education & action in the face of climate changeAs a Washington Post headline today reads "Earth broke all-time heat record two days in a row", we see that reality impact communities and peoples worldwide, with more frequent and severe weather events, increased displacement due to drought, flood, and famine, and the spikes in our own household needs and utility bills. Climate change continues to impact everyone. Earlier this year, our colleagues at Global Ministries prepared a list of Creation Care resources and recommendations for education and action. Individuals from the GM staff team suggest everything from children's books and family-friendly films, to websites, books, and webinars, plus social media challenges and 'sustainable swap' ideas to make an impact right in your own home. Climate change is a significant factor in the work of Week of Compassion, as we respond to natural disasters, refugee concerns and the needs of persons displaced from their homes, and engage global partners to address sustainable development and offer transformative hope. the last hospital in Gaza7/11/2024 Al Ahli Hospital forced to close as crisis continues“Hospitals are sacred places where the sick and suffering come to receive healing and care. For more than nine months, healthcare workers in Gaza, including those at Al Ahli Hospital, have put their lives in danger by providing basic services under the worst conditions and with limited and inadequate supplies." - Rev. Dr. Mae Elise Canon, Exec Director, Churches for Middle East Peace Week of Compassion and World Council of Churches |
