A Faithful Response to Climate Change - After Action Report
Sunday, August 25th

Schwiebert Park, Rock Island, IL

Environmental Forum

The Faithful Response to Climate Change was hosted by the Faith Leader's Caucus from Quad City Interfaith. This was co-sponsored by the Environmental Forum of PACG. Religious leaders spoke from various faiths about the need to address climate change in order to be consistent with their values. Olivia Dorothy from American Rivers spoke from the scientific point of view, and Mark Russell from Iowa Interfaith and Light spoke about the regional and national response from faith leaders. Lori McCollum spoke from the point of view of a parent. Music was provided by Todtz McGoats, and the Sage Sisters. About 50 people gathered in an intermittent gentle rain to discuss this topic, which was well covered by the press.

Book Club

The PACG Book Club is starting up again after the summer break.

We were to read Before the Mayflower: A History of the Negro in America, 1619 to 1962 by Leronne Bennett over the summer. We will discuss the book, although come even if you have not read it.

We will decide if we will continue with a racial justice theme, or broaden our focus.

We will choose books for the next 3 or 4 months. Bring your suggestions!

We will decide on days, times and locations for our discussions. Do we want to continue on the first Saturday morning of the month at the Davenport Main Library?

Hope to see you Saturday at 10:30!
