Sharing Our Eco-Memoirs for Transformational Change

We welcome Rev. Tina DeYoe as our new pastor and celebrate her gifts and leadership.
Dr. Melanie L. Harris, a Professor of Black Feminist thought and Womanist Theology, in her book Ecowomanism: African American Women and Earth-Honoring Faiths, presents a method for constructing our eco-autobiographies/eco-memoirs using lenses of liberation and transformation. Today in the service we will reflect on our own eco-memoirs as they can be a lens that leads us to working toward transformational change on our precious planet. Through shared dialogue and shared wisdom, transformative solutions can become a reality.
