¿Qué es la eco-teología? con Neddy Astudillo. En este podcast, el editor invitado Rev. Dr. Neddy Astudillo explora ¿Qué es la eco-teología? ¿Qué significa ver nuestra relación con la Tierra, entre nosotros y con Dios a través de este lente? ¿Cómo dialoga la eco-teología con la Ciencia, la historia de la Iglesia y la Escritura para encontrar soluciones a las crisis ambiental y climática? Neddy señala tres eco-teologías bíblicas que vienen a nuestro rescate y aprovechan el poder de las comunidades de fe. Sobre Nuestro Invitado  Neddy Astudillo, eco-teóloga venezolana y pastora presbiteriana (PCUSA), ha enseñado eco-teología en seminarios teológicos de América Latina y Estados Unidos. En 1998 Neddy y su esposo Thomas Spaulding, co-fundaron el Centro de Aprendizaje Angelic Organics, una organización sin fines de lucro basada en una granja orgánica, donde las personas se conectan con la agricultura, los alimentos, y el cuidado de la tierra. Durante catorce años, Neddy sirvió a la Parroquia San José, una congregación conjunta de ELCA y PCUSA de habla hispana en Beloit, WI.

« En nommant le mal, en pointant le patriarcat du doigt quand il arrive, on dirait que c'est une manière de refuser de lui rendre un culte et de participer à ce système de domination ». Amélie Franco a fait ses études de théologie protestante à Strasbourg, premier endroit où elle a entendu parler de lecture féministe des écritures, ce qu'elle jugeait sévèrement à l'époque. Si on lui avait dit qu'elle en écrirait un jour… Elle travaille aujourd'hui pour GreenFaith qui réconcilie son envie de bosser pour la justice climatique et l'envie d'être dans un contexte inter religieux et international.

Kaum ein Thema war in den letzten Wochen in den Medien so präsent wie die Klima-Proteste in Lützerath, die sogenannten Klimakleber und dem Umgang von Polizei und Politik damit. Jede Menge Diskussionsbedarf also, dem wir uns mit unserer Gästin Caroline Bader ausführlich widmen.  Caroline engagiert sich bei Greenfaith, einer weltweiten, multireligiösen Klima- und Umweltbewegung. Wir reden mit ihr über Lützerath, Formen des Klimaprotests und warum Menschen des Glaubens sich für das Klima engagieren sollten. Sie erzählt uns, wie sie begonnen hat, sich mit diesem Thema auseinanderzusetzen und welche Rolle multireligiöser Dialog dabei spielt. Wir reden über die Gefahr des Ausbrennens beim Versuch die Welt zu retten, über Apokalypse und Hoffnung, über Symbole und Utopien. Und es wird auch ganz praktisch, wenn wir uns darüber unterhalten, was jeder von uns tun kann, um Teil der Lösung zu sein.  Hier findet ihr die Vision, die Caroline Bader im Talk vorgelesen hat: https://greenfaith.org/de/wer-wir-sind/

Three and a half years after NYS passed the CLCPA climate law, the Climate Action Council held a meeting on Dec 5 to review the wording of the state climate scoping plan which is to be voted upon Dec 19. The state, however, has refused to make the draft plans public. Groups such as NY Renews, Green Faith and PAUSE rallied outside the council meeting in support of strong action. One major issue is that the state is proposing a version of the controversial "cap-and-trade" program to reduce emissions and raise revenues. Debate also continues over the state's promotion of hydrogen and false climate solutions, as well as the timeline to stop new buildings from using gas. We hear from Raya Salta, Barry Pendegrass, Issac Silberman-Gorn, Michael Richardson, Laura Faulk, and Margaret Human. By Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

“There’s no spiritual life that does not involve, does not start, intimately and inescapably, with the Earth.” The Rev. Fletcher Harper believes that he felt God while mourning his father’s death on a solo camping trip in Montana. A violent hailstorm struck one night, and he sought shelter in the lee of a rock. “At about three in the morning, I felt this deep sense of well-being,” he recalls. “I realized that I was going to be OK. I thought, ‘I can move on with my life now.’” Later in his life and career when interviewing hundreds of people from a broad spectrum of religious and non-religious backgrounds, he discovered that nearly all of them could recall an outdoor experience they perceived as spiritual or sublime. “Nature awakens a sense of awe at the mystery of life, a sense of wonder, a sense of humility in the face of something so much bigger than we are,” says Harper. “A sense of appreciation and of gratitude. Sometimes a sense of fear — a healthy recognition that we’re not the center of the universe.” Harper, an Episcopal priest, is Executive Director of GreenFaith, an international interfaith and multi-faith environmental organization that conducts education and advocacy, and provides environmental sustainability services, to faith-based groups. GreenFaith uses the power of religious networks to help people from diverse backgrounds put their belief into action for the Earth. It works with houses of worship, religious schools, and people of all faiths to help them become better environmental stewards. It believes in addressing environmental issues holistically and is committed to being a one-stop shop for the resources and tools religious institutions need to engage environmental issues and become religious-environmental leaders. An award-winning spiritual writer and nationally-recognized preacher on the environment, Harper teaches and speaks about the moral, spiritual basis for environmental stewardship and justice. He seeks to tap and activate the values base of the religious sector in ways profound and practical to curb wasteful consumerism and set faith-based communities on a track to environmental stewardship—in practice as well as in belief. And yet Harper resists the platitudes and bromides that some religious communities cite about generalized care for God’s creation. “Very powerful vested interests maintained the status quo,” he says, “and polite conversation and periodic references to the Bible were not going to dismantle the system. It was going to take people really confronting centers of power and calling them out in ways that a lot of religious people feel uncomfortable with.” Noting that specific targeted actions – rather than generalized moral exhortations – create change, he notes that “the only way that a status quo gets changed is through moral discomfort; [religious leaders have] got to be willing to be instruments of moral discomfort.” And so he writes about how to preach specifically on the issue, saying “I’m more concerned about [religious moderates] and a sense that religious institutions exist to help people remain comfortable and to help deal with the challenges and tragedies of their own lives, without looking at larger societal issues.” He personally lives the environmentally sustainable life that he preaches. Harper was named an Ashoka Fellow in 2011 and is the author of GreenFaith: Mobilizing God’s People to Protect the Earth (Abingdon Press, March 2015). In recent years, Harper coordinated the 2015 OurVoices campaign, which mobilized religious support globally for COP 21, led the organizing of faith communities for the People’s Climate Marches in NYC and Washington DC, helped lead the faith-based fossil fuel divestment movement, supported the launch of the global Interfaith Rainforest Initiative, and co-founded Shine, a faith-philanthropy-NGO campaign to end energy poverty with renewable energy by 2030. He helps lead GreenFaith’s new local organizing initiative, creating multi-faith GreenFaith Circles in local communities globally. He is a graduate of Princeton University and Union Theological Seminary, and served as a parish priest for ten years and in leadership positions in the Episcopal Church before becoming GreenFaith’s Executive Director. Join us in conversation with this powerful voice for environmental stewardship who walks the talk.

"At first, to be honest with you, it was quote hard fitting in because you would think that fellow minoritized, fellow colonizers, it'll be easy right? But this face though..." ... "[I had mentors] who guided me and told me that to live in that liminal identity, to have those various cultures, to transgress across boundaries, across borders of those multiple cultures, it's a blessing" ... "Yes, if I had to check a box I have to check the Korean box because of biology, but if I could check from my heart, I would have a lot of hyphens going on."

This is a very special episode guys. I've always wanted to have author, leader, and fellow podcaster, Concetta Green on to talk about walking in faith, her book "Too Busy, Too Bored for Prayer", and just what it's like being a creative person during a time where a lot of the opportunities we would get to be creative have been both added and taken away.

Parashat B’har features an important teaching on environmental justice: that we are to be respectful of our land. Many Reform Jews express their respect for the environment with action, and many Reform congregations have gone zero-waste or are GreenFaith certified. In this episode of On the Other Hand, Rabbi Jacobs discusses why it’s so important that we respect the environment, and shares some easy ways to do so.

In this episode I am joined by Dabbing Granny, White Mike, Rev. Baker and iRock Watts at the Green Faith Cannabis Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Speakers: Prof Mohamad Abdalla | Rabbi Jonathan Keren-Black | Philippa Rowland Host: Father Bob Maguire The Pope’s game changing encyclical—Laudato Si – stressed environmental stewardship and climate change action is consistent with Christian spiritual life. But the Green Faith movement is not just a Christian thing. It’s a central pillar of all major religions. This interfaith panel led by Australia’s favourite Catholic, Father Bob Maguire, will discuss how and why Christian, Muslim, Buddhist and Jewish faiths have made climate change and environmental responsibility a major part of contemporary religious life and practice.

The power of the march has been clearly demonstrated over the past few months with huge marches gathering in Washington, DC and New York City.  But the real power has come when those marches take place across all the other cities in America, where a real nationwide movement is demonstrated.  Coming up soon is the People's’ Climate March, April 29th. This week we talk to Fletcher Harper from Greenfaith about the march, climate change, and the role of the faith community in solving the biggest challenge facing our planet.  Get our your walking shoes and find the march near you!
