The Spirituality of Creation Care: A Look at a Changing World Webinar
Presenter: Deacon Joey Clavijo
Description: Climate change is a scientific reality—but responding to it is also a spiritual task. Science helps us understand what is happening; spirituality helps us explore how we respond with courage, compassion, and hope.
Join us for a reflective and interactive session examining the connections between climate change, faith, ethics, and our shared responsibility for creation.
Participants will be introduced to practical spiritual practices for climate resilience, including the Eco-Examen, mindful time outdoors, Living in an Icon, and framing everyday environmental actions as expressions of love and devotion.
