Justice Prayers - June 5

One Size Does Not Fit All 

When speaking about environmental justice in my role with A Rocha Canada I am often asked: “But what can I do?”

There are so many answers to that question and much of it depends on where you live, how you live, and what is happening in your neighbourhood.

Budgets are moral documents, after all, revealing the priorities of our nation and our leaders.

An Inheritance for my Grandchildren

In honor of today's Global Climate Strike, we offer this post from long-time climate organizer, Rev. Rich Killmer of the CRC's Climate Witness Project.

 

I am 76 years old. I often think about the kind of legacy I will leave to my 9 grandchildren.
