Over at Jim Wallis blog I’ve being blogging in the lead up to and during COP 15. This year alone, EPYC has run nonviolent climate justice workshops with more than 8,000 young people (most with little or no contact with Christianity), inviting them amid our ecological crisis to become [eco]prophets and introducing them to an understanding of Christianity that provides a spirituality of compassionate engagement modeled on Jesus (rather than indifferent escapism dressed up in Jesus-drag that simply reflects the patterns of the world). In the countdown to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (COP15), these are some of the most popular, inspiring, informative, and provocative video clips we have used in our workshops.
Feel free to post them on your blog, send them to friends, share them in your sermons, small groups, and Bible studies. Let them help you “think critically, plot creatively, and act compassionately” in witnessing to the gospel’s message of good news to our warming world — not a lubricant for the destruction of God’s good creation.
