It's not easy being Green, but it's so very necessary today.

We know that human civilization today has had a serious impact on the planet. It seems every month more and more data comes in about melting ice caps, severe weather, and other climate changes. We know that it's affecting flora and fauna worldwide. We know that these changes are influencing our societies and global culture.

With all these changes and challenges it can be frightening and confusing to know what to do. 

This last month our congregation hosted two events with different individuals and different perspectives on being Green. Lester Brown and the Reverend Michael Dowd both helped us to understand how necessary it is to develop sustainable living... and eased the way for us with their inspriational insights and hopes for the future.

While coming at sustainability from different directions neither of these men are a light shade of Green. They are both Deep Green as they come to their realizations about who we are and what we must do to save civilization from compassion and concern for all the beings of our planet.
