Weekly videos will begin uploading the week of February 19th at the ELCA Young Adults YouTube!
Week 1
Civic Life & Faith with Rev. Amy Reumann, Erin Brown, and Kayla Zopfi
Discussion questions:
How does your faith inform your passion for advocacy, especially in care for creation?
What is your experience with advocacy? If you have, what are some of the things you've learned from it? If you haven't, what do you hope to learn and gain from engaging in advocacy?
What are some of the ways that you can care for yourself and for others while doing this work?
Week 2
Spiritual Practices with Pr. Tyler Sit and Baird Linke
Week 3
Congregational Actions and Organizing for Creation Care with Phoebe Morad and Gabrielle Irle
1. Take a moment to dream. What could a faith community look like as a true center for and supporting community, not just a place to worship? What would it offer to its locality? Its neighbors? Its global neighbors? What problems would it address? (Maybe your church already does! Celebrate that.)
2. What obstacles get in the way of your faith community caring for creation?
3. What resources (in passion, existing programs, grounds, finances, etc) does your faith community have, and how could they be utilized to care for creation?
Week 4
Civic Engagement and Being a Creation Care Voter with Christine Moffett, Will Milner, Autumn Byars, and Alex Parker
What climate change-related policy is important to you as a voter?
What kinds of conversations are you having with your community about civic engagement in climate change? If you're not having those, what do you imagine those conversations looking like?
What other forms of civic engagement call to you as part of advocating for a greener world?
