One Home, One Future: From Prayer to Action, Taking Heart in the Climate Crisis
The cry of the earth cries out for healing and prayer. It cries out for the recognition that we belong to the Earth and that the web of life is holy. How does God speak to us through the natural world? What gives us energy and hope as we strive to repent and reconcile with that holy web? How do we move through denial and despair into the joy of courageous living?
Held in a beautiful natural setting, this afternoon retreat will explore a framework for “holding” our concern for the Earth, its creatures, elements, and people. The program will include presentations, guided meditation, conversation, and singing.
This event is one of the multifaith weekend gatherings sponsored by Interfaith Climate Action Team of Martha’s Vineyard, One Home, One Future: From Prayer to Action, Taking Heart in the Climate Crisis. People of all faiths -- and none -- are welcome! Registration information to follow.

Seizing Hope in a Season of Despair: A Time of Reflection
When the web of life is unraveling before our eyes, where do we find hope? What is hope, anyway? Is it merely a drug to soothe us when everything seems to be falling apart, or can it be something more robust?
At an event hosted by The Spiritual Resilience Working Group (SRWG) of the Creation Care Committee (CCC) of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, Rev. Margaret will speak to diocesan clergy and faith leaders about Christian hope in a time of climate emergency and discuss some of the ways congregations can build hope through our prayer, preaching, and outreach.
