Gather with other Christians to learn about creation and climate care
Humanity is facing three interconnected crises: biodiversity loss, climate change, and poverty and inequality. Many of us struggle to find our role in addressing these crises. We struggle with theological questions, practical problems, and simply loving our places well.Β
We want to ask these questions with you!
Will you join us at Consider the Lillies, a conference to connect and resource Christians in the great call to creation care? Keep reading to learn more about the conference.
We hope to see you there!
