Monday, February 12 at 7:00 p.m.      Weiser Hall 107 (500 Church St.)

Climate activist Kyle Meyaard-Schaap addresses the apathy of the Christian community in the face of the climate crisis. Drawing on years of speaking to and equipping Christians to work for climate action, he will show how the trend is beginning to shift. More and more young Christians are waking up to the realities of climate change. They want to help, but they’re not sure how. Through stories from the field, theological and scriptural exploration, and practical advice, Meyaard-Schaap offers hope to people paralyzed by the scale of the crisis, helping us turn our paralysis into meaningful action. His book, Following Jesus in a Warming World, is a field guide for Christian climate action—one grounded not in a sense of guilt or drudgery, but in the joy of caring for creation. Rev. Meyaard-Schaap will share his lecture, followed by a time of conversation with those who attend.

Graduate students and young adults are also welcome to join Kyle for a smaller gathering on Sunday, February 11 at 1:00 p.m. at the Campus Chapel. He will offer a workshop on maintaining hope when problems seem overwhelming. Lunch will be provided. Please register.
