COVID-19 Response & Resources

Clergy Commitment

Our hope is that our Partners in Health and Wholeness Collaborative congregations will view health not just as a separate activity or to-do list item, but as a part of living out their faith. Our hope is that this clergy pledge will serve as a reminder for all clergy people to lead and/or support the integration of health into the worshipping life of your faith community.

To strengthen our communities, we need to build our collective power. We can do that through registering to vote, ensuring our congregation is registered to vote and making a voter plan for the #2020Election. pic.twitter.com/2966…

RT @KHayhoe Imagine you toss a match on a pile of green wood. Now imagine you toss the same match on a pile of dry tinder. What happens? That's how "the fires were human-caused" and "climate change made them a lot worse" can both be true.
