24 Sep “What do Austin’s Muslim, Zen Buddhist, and Christian communities have in common?”
They're all endeavoring to better understand and deepen their relationship to our shared natural environment.
Interfaith Environmental Network presents, "Finding Our Place in Nature"
What do various faith traditions teach in terms of caring for creation? How are members of Austin's Islamic, Zen Buddhist, and Christian communities responding to human induced global warming and climate change? How do these communities view the environmental challenges of today and what kinds of transformation are these communities calling for?
