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.

RT @ClimatePower It has been 41 days since @realDonaldTrump held a formal press briefing focused on #COVID19 testing and response. America deserves a president who will stand with experts and act on science.

RT @NGPBlackGreen Anti-science policies are hurting Americans right now. We can tackle climate change, but to do so we must listen to the experts. I’m proud to join the @ClimatePower team in holding science-deniers accountable. #NGPBlackGreen #ClimateCrisis #EnvironmentalJustice #NGP pic.twitter.com/9ZeL…
