Join this companion discussion to the Faith-in-Action Walking Tour (see description below) co-sponsored by Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake and Lancaster Interfaith Coalition. Hear remarks from Malinda Harnish Clatterbuck and other speakers, virtually interact with faith leaders from congregations featured on the walking tour, and get ideas for how to replicate such practices on your own congregational property. Discussion will be via Zoom. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions about the projects, funding resources, how to become a National Wildlife Federation “Sacred Grounds” and connect with other environmentally concerned people of faith.
