That people from many different religious traditions are interested in addressing the problem of global warming is a fact finally being picked up, though perhaps slowly, by the media. We linked earlier to the online discussion at a Washington Post blog about religious perspectives on caring for the environment. Though a week or two old now, we thought it might be worth pointing out this story at the New York Times about Jim Ball, the executive director of the nonprofit Evangelical Environmental Network. (Note: the article is available through Times Select, which you can now register to use for free if you have a university-provided email address.)

We have started a collection of sermons related to global warming, available under the “Sermons” tab in the links at the top of the page. We hope this will prove useful to those of you who are planning religious services as part of your Day of Prayer and Reflection event. If you have copies of sermons you or others in your community have given related to global warming, and you would be willing to share them with others, we would love to be able to post them here. You can send them to globalwarmingprayer@gmail.com.

Hosting a Day of Prayer and Reflection event? Wondering how to keep folks involved in the fight against global warming after your event is over? You might consider getting plugged into one of the many other campus global warming initiatives currently taking shape. You can now easily peruse many of them via the Leapfrog Into Action calendar, sponsored by the Climate Crisis Coalition’s ClimateUSA campaign.
As always, we’re eager to hear about what is happening at your campus, so if your university, student organization, or faith group is planning something for the Day of Prayer and Reflection, please let us know! Email us at globalwarmingprayer@gmail.com.
