Transforming the Church and Society through Care for our Common Home

Wednesday, December 4, 2024   –   7:30pm – 8:45pm via Zoom

The Catholic faith tradition offers both deep theological and ethical resources for addressing the climate crisis, as well as the inspiration and hope needed for critically needed action throughout society. The Catholic moral imagination provides a vision of an inclusive and sustainable future, and already existing practical action plans are guiding large-scale change. As Pope Francis writes, “Truly, much can be done!”

Presenter: Erin Lothes, Ph.D., is a Catholic theologian and author of Inspired Sustainability: Planting Seeds for Action and The Paradox of Christian Sacrifice: The Loss of Self, The Gift of Self as well as many articles on faith-based environmentalism, divestment, and energy ethics. Dr. Lothes is senior manager of the Laudato Si Animators Program with the Laudato Si Movement, and a visiting scholar at the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary. Most recently, she has written a commentary to introduce the Orbis Books paper publication of Pope Francis’s apostolic exhortation, Laudate Deum.
