SUMMARY:The Climate Emergency: Does Religion Matter?
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to “The Climate Emergency: Does Religion Matter?”\, the latest installment of the Temple of Understanding’s ECO JUSTICE FOR ALL Dialogues. These are special intimate discussions about the climate emergency with international ChangeMakers. \nECO JUSTICE FOR ALL interviews and dialogues are ongoing programs presented by the Temple of Understanding\, incorporating our outreach in the area of environmental awareness and advocacy. We present a diverse range of perspectives\, from scientific to spiritual views\, on the climate emergency and offer a variety of solutions that we can all do easily and effectively in our everyday lives. World religious and spiritual visionaries\, Indigenous leaders\, scientists and social scientists\, environmental activists\, artists\, musicians and writers\, youth and elders\, local and global people\, all come together to address the urgency of the climate crisis through these ongoing interviews and dialogues. \nRegister here! \nSpeakers: \nRabbi Ellen Bernstein is an eco-theologian\, spiritual leader\, writer and creative. She founded Shomrei Adamah\, Keepers of the Earth\, the first national Jewish environmental organization in 1988. Her books include Let the Earth Teach You Torah\, Ecology and the Jewish Spirit\, and The Splendor of Creation. Ellen also created the first ecologically-centered Tu B’Sh’vat (Jewish New Year of theTrees) seder in 1988 and popularized Tu B’Sh’vat as a community-wide inter-spiritual ecological arts celebration for all peoples. Her most recent book\, The Promise of the Land\, A Passover Haggadah is the first comprehensive\, ecological haggadah (guidebook) for Passover (Behrman House\, 2020). In 2020 during the pandemic\, Ellen launched the Earth Seder movement\, helping to organize several dozen world-wide Earth Seders on Zoom. Ellen continues to write and teach on the ecology of the Hebrew Bible\, and serves on the advisory board of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology. To learn more please visit ellenbernstein.org and thepromiseoftheland.com. \nTheodore Hiebert writes about biblical perspectives on the environment and about biblical views of identity and difference. His book The Yahwist’s Landscape: Nature and Religion in Early Israel challenges claims that the Bible privileges humans and separates them from nature\, and it shows how biblical religion is grounded in the natural world. He has made contributions about biblical perspectives on nature to such works as The New Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible\, The Oxford Companion to the Bible\, Earth and Word: Classic Sermons on Saving the Planet\, and Interpretation. He is the author of the article on Genesis for the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of the Bible and Ecology. Ted was the lead translator of the Book of Genesis and one of the editors for the recent English translation\, the Common English Bible (CEB). He wrote the notes to Genesis for the CEB Study Bible and for the New Interpreter’s Study Bible\, based on the New Revised Standard Version. He is the Old Testament editor for Abingdon Press’s Covenant Bible Study. Ted also writes about biblical views of identity and difference. His book The Beginning of Difference: Discovering Identity in God’s Diverse World challenges exclusivist cultural interpretations of the book of Genesis and reveals a text that embraces and celebrates ethnic identities and differences. It contains a reinterpretation of the story of Babel as positive account of the origin of the world’s cultures. God’s Big Plan\, which he co-authored with Elizabeth Caldwell\, is a children’s story of Babel based on this new interpretation. Ted is currently at work on a study of the book of Genesis as migration literature. Ted is a member of the Mennonite Church and has served as pastor of the Boston Mennonite Congregation. He is a frequent lecturer and teacher in adult education programs in churches in the Chicago area. He is Francis A. McGaw Professor of Old Testament and Dean of the Faculty Emeritus at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago and lives in Homewood\, IL. \n___________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the Committee of Religious NGOs at the United Nations\, please visit rngos.wordpress.com.

SUMMARY:Celebrating Family Holiday Traditions
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join the NGO Committee on the Family for a time of Celebrating Family Holiday Traditions! \nMany different cultures and religions celebrate holidays around this time of year\, and the family plays a unique role in preserving and passing on these traditions. Many families create their own family customs as well\, which are then passed on to the next generation\, which can preserve and adapt them. These may shift and blend through the years\, yet they create intergenerational links\, fostering a sense of identity and self in the young who feel connected to those who came before them. In an increasingly global world\, these traditions provide a connection to the past and guideposts for the future. \nThe meeting will provide an opportunity for cultural exchange and community experience discussing family and culture in a holiday context. Attendees will have a chance to share their own holiday traditions during the general discussion. Online participants can share in various ways\, such as showing a favorite holiday treat\, describing a holiday tradition\, or showing your holiday decorations via webcam. As culture and food are closely connected\, committee members will bring holiday refreshments from their family and cultural traditions\, and in-person attendees who would like to do the same are invited to bring a dish to share.  \nPlease RSVP by 6pm EST on December 15 at bit.ly/NGOFamilyHoliday \n___________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: The NGO Committee on the Family-NY is a Substantive Committee of the Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations. For information about collaborative work of NGOs on the issues above and related matters\, visit the substantive committees related to CoNGO.

SUMMARY:Racism\, Land\, and Food
DESCRIPTION:Warm greetings from Geneva! \nOn behalf of our colleague\, Dr. Manoj Kurian\, Coordinator of the Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance (EAA) of the World Council of Churches\, we are happy to share with you an invitation to attend an upcoming webinar on Racism\, Land\, and Food. \nNew York\, Bogota 09:00-11:00; London 14:00- 16:00; Geneva 15:00-17:00\, Johannesburg 16:00-18:00\, Nairobi 17:00-19:00\, New Delhi 19:30-21:30\, Bangkok 21:00-23:00 \nObjectives for the Webinar: \n• Explore the intersections of food\, land and racial injustice. \n• Discern key lessons from initiatives and good practices that work to overcome the impact of racial injustice and inequity on food sovereignty. \n• Reflect on how the Holy Scripture can assist and guide in bringing justice\, dignity and rights to marginalised communities with regard to food and land \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEvduGspj4iHtceXhhER9aLh9wJeRPv1hB1 \nBackground documents: https://seafile.ecucenter.org/d/d35a42625eaf40b29c9b/ \nLanguages: English and Spanish \nBrief description: \nWorldwide\, communities are increasingly experiencing poverty due to severe climate changes and lack of access to fertile farmlands and the deploying of fertile farmlands for cash crop farming at the expense of food production. In fact\, in many countries\, especially\, former colonies\, the most productive farmlands are shared by the very rich\, normally descendants of the colonisers/ other privileged classes and castes and some indigenous elites\, while the masses continue to try to eke out a living from their inherited but tired lands that have been farmed without rest over decades if not centuries. In some instances\, the rich have used their access to financial and material resources to coerce poor farmers to plant and grow cash crops for the export market at the expense of growing staple crops\, however\, the rewards from cash crops are great for the merchants and exporters while starving the poor farmers who are left without any significant returns from their cash crops and without food. \nThis webinar seeks to explore the intersection of these two injustices across the globe. It helps to consolidate the analytical\, advocacy and practical resources\, to explore\, understand and expose the effects of the combined force of food\, climate and racial injustice. \nResource persons \n· Rev. Chebon Kernell\, Indigenous Perspectives  Executive Director\, Native American Comprehensive Plan\, United Methodist Church\, USA  \n· Dr. Fransina Yoteni\, Gereja Kristen Injili Di Tanah Papua (GKITP)- Evangelical Christian Church in Tanah Papua\, Member of the Central Committee of the WCC\, West Papua\, Indonesia \n· Dr. Betty Ruth Lozano Lerma\, Director of Research\, Fundación Universitaria Bautista (Unibautista)\, Colombia \n· Dr. Mervyn Abrahams\, Pietermaritzburg Economic Justice & Dignity Group\, Republic of South Africa \n· Mr. Angelious Michael\, Coordinator\, Partnership and Youth Desk at Jeypore Evangelical Lutheran Church\, Orissa\, India \n· Rev.
