Just as the enslavement of people was driven by commercial interests, today the enslavement of nature for profit violates a morality that sees value in all living things, according to the Rev. Mariama White-Hammond, pastor of New Roots AME Church in Dorchester, Massachusetts and former Chief of Environment, Energy and Open Spaces for the City of Boston. She joins us to reflect on how overcoming slavery, which is celebrated on Juneteenth, can inspire us to find ways to depend on each other so we can thrive in a world of ecological justice.

There is growing interest in how spiritual care providers can incorporate elements of the natural world into their work (sometimes called “eco-chaplaincy”), provide chaplaincy in the context of climate change, and otherwise acknowledge the spiritual implications of the present and future of our natural world.

Supplemental materials for further exploration can be found at the bottom of this description.

I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address those problems. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy... and to deal with those we need a spiritual and cultural transformation...” — James “Gus” Speth About Rev. Mariama White-Hammond Rev. Mariama White-Hammond is a pastor, advocate, facilitator, and farmer whose work spans issues and sectors as she seeks to create a more just and sustainable world. She was recently appointed Chief of Energy, Environment and Open Spaces for the City of Boston under Mayor Kim Janey. In that role she oversees everything from Archeology to Animal Control. In particular, she is focused on what Boston can do to combat climate change, reduce environmental inequities and protect Boston's urban ecosystem for everyone to enjoy. She is the founding pastor of New Roots AME Church, a multi-racial, multi-class community that is innovating new ways of doing church. Rev. Mariama uses an intersectional lens in her ecological work, challenging folks to see the connections between immigration and climate change or the relationship between energy policy and economic justice. She was a fellow with the Green Justice Coalition, which brings together eight social/environmental justice groups from around Massachusetts. She is the chair of the New England Grassroots Environmental Fund and the co-chair of RENEW New England.  

Ben Yosua-Davis and Nicole Diroff are the hosts of the new Climate Changed podcast. They also have something else in common. They are both parents. Ben is a father to two amazing children. Michael, is his six year-old creative social butterfly. Genevieve is his sweet and ferocious two year old." Nicole is a mother to a second grader. Parenting comes with so many unique joys and challenges, and parenting in a climate-changed world in particular, raises so many questions for us.  As our children are discovering the wonders of the natural world, How much do we tell them about the ecological disasters happening all around us? How do we create space for their grief and anger? How do we prepare them to live in a world that is already different from the one we knew as children? How do we raise resilient children who are prepared for the trauma that's predicted for their lifetimes? How do we instill in them empathy and love for all earthlings?  As parents, Christians, citizens, and friends, we talk a lot about these issues, so we decided to bring others into the conversation.  In the first season of Climate Changed we connect with thought leaders, ministers, activists, and other parents who are considering similar questions.  People like Corina Newsome, one of co-organizers of the inaugural #BlackBirdersWeek Keyana Pardilla, a young Penobscot woman in Maine who connects modern science with ancient indigenous practices Pacific Islander and poet Craig Santos-Perez Rev. Mariama White-Hammond, a pastor, gardener, and spiritual entrepreneur within the African Methodist Episcopal tradition We do not pretend to have all the answers. In fact, we have many more questions than answers - but we want to share them with you, and invite you to join us, as we wrestle with these big issues.  Subscribe today to Climate Changed Podcast, wherever you get your podcasts.

Pastor and activist, Rev. Mariama White-Hammond describes how her experience of racial and economic injustice led her to fight for the planet as a whole and explains why it is time to “live differently.”

In this gem of a conversation, Christy and Eva talk with pastor and ecological/ social justice activist and speaker Rev. Mariama White-Hammond. She shares about the spiritual nature of climate change and many of our contemporary issues, the need for finding joy in the natural world, and in discerning what is ours to do.

Rev. Mariama White-Hammond is the Associate Minister for Ecological Justice at Bethel AME Church. She's also an activist, artist and a facilitator working to build social movements.

In early November, hundreds of clergy came to Cannon Ball, North Dakota, at the invitation of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation, to join in the protest against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline through reservation land.  I attended that protest, and while there I met Mariama White-Hammond, today’s guest. Today we will talk with two leaders concerned with this controversial pipeline and hear about the issues that come together in it: water quality, the rights of indigenous people, and climate change.  The Episcopal Church’s Presiding Bishop Michael Curry has said about the protests at Standing Rock, ““I want to now suggest that Standing Rock may be the new Selma.” Our guests are the Rev. Mariama White-Hammon, and Shantha Ready Alonso of Creation Justice Ministries.  We will also discuss a key part of the witness of the churches at Standing Rock, the public repudiation of the “Doctrine of Discovery.”

Panelists are Sojourners founder, Jim Wallis; Cambridge City Councillor, Nadeem Mazen; president of American Promise, Jeff Clements; recent HDS alum Tajay Bongsa; the Rev. Mariama White-Hammond; and Rabbi Aryeh Klapper. The event and panel was moderated by HDS Professor Dan McKanan.
