Hello dear readers! We bring you some Earth Day News!
An Invitation to Wonder was screened at the end of April. You can watch the trailer here: https://vimeo.com/639344584. Please lend your support to this beautiful project – now available to watch online for a small sum!
An Invitation to Wonder: Waubesa Wetlands. Embark on a journey into Waubesa Wetlands as Calvin DeWitt, a wetland scientist and Nelson Institute faculty emeritus, shares the knowledge and wisdom he has found from living on the marsh for over 50 years. Taking these lessons, his grandson, a 20-year-old filmmaker, sets out to gain a deeper understanding of the marsh and his grandfather’s unique connection with it.
Then, our beloved theologian Dave Bookless, Head of Theology at ARI, spoke on a podcast to mark this Day. This was a refreshing dialogue (only 22 minutes in length!) with a Muslim environmentalist, Huda Alkaff based in the US (Founder of Wisconsin Green Muslims).
Finally, most joyous news from Ezechiel Busime (Director of Mission and Development at MVC) on how the Ministère de la Vie Chrétienne (MVC), through its community development department and its association: Young Climate stewards (JIC) celebrated Earth Day.
They planted 525 trees of Congolese origin including: Meosophis and the Savonnier at the mountain overlooking the city of Uvira. This area suffers the adverse effects of climate change. We are glad to share with you these pictures of their reforestation activities, and hope this both encourages and inspires you to tend the spaces and places you are in!
