2019 Indigenous And Faith Leaders Retreat On The Climate Crisis<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From Sept 22 to 25, 2019,  a 4-day retreat was held for reflection, ceremony, and intense and brave dialogue with 21 Indigenous and Faith Leaders – gathering their collective guidance and wisdom for communities in the face of the climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the event organizers, lead Minister Russell Daye, St Andrews United Church Halifax, said, \u201cIn our time, the climate crisis is our ultimate faith concern. If we ignore it, we betray our faith traditions; if we come together to respond, we may just enrich those traditions and create a common vision for humanity moving forward.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the other organizers said, \u201cTo me the climate crisis is, at its root, a spiritual crisis. We are losing our connection to the earth and to one another, the sacredness of all of life. I wanted to have this conversation with my fellow faith leaders and Indigenous elders.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
