A Hot Topic

It has been eco-week at St. Bede’s.

This past Sunday, during our annual Spring Meeting, we heard from an environmental ethicist and an ecologist to help us think about how best to re-shape our Sand Hill Road site as it comes due for a round of landscaping and upgrading and maintenance.

And tomorrow evening, Thursday, April 30, 6:30 – 9 pm, as part of our Breaking Bread at Bede’s series, we will hear from The Rev. Cannon Sally Bingham, an Episcopal priest and the president of California Interfaith Power and Light, an organization working to promote the idea that global worming is the major religious and moral issue of our time.

Sally believes that all major religious traditions call us to be good stewards of the earth, therefore we must work together to address the grave threat to humanity and all creation posed by global warming. And she has already recruited over 460 congregations of many different faiths to join CIPL and to lead by example by reducing carbon-dioxide emissions from their own houses of worship by over 20 million pounds.
