Earth's Energy, God's Light:
Faithful Responses to the Energy Crisis
An Eco-Justice Conference
July 11-14, 2002
Linfield College, Oregon

challenged to share God's light with the earth,
and charged to practice good stewardship of the fragile planet.
Join a mobilized community of Christian advocates,
educators, scientists, pastors, seminaries, students, and lay leaders
to:
 | Study the biblical and theological foundation of
environmental ministry |
| Explore practical uses for renewal energy sources
and energy efficiency |
| Learn how we can become better stewards of energy
resources in our buildings, communities, food production, economy,
and future development.

Voices of Sophia blog
Heather Reichgott, who has created
this new blog for Voices of Sophia, introduces it:
After fifteen years of scholarship
and activism, Voices of Sophia presents a blog. Here, we present the
voices of feminist theologians of all stripes: scholars, clergy,
students, exiles, missionaries, workers, thinkers, artists, lovers
and devotees, from many parts of the world, all children of the God
in whose image women are made. .... This blog seeks to glorify God
through prayer, work, art, and intellectual reflection. Through
articles and ensuing discussion we hope to become an active and
thoughtful community. |
