Celebrating Our Luncheon with Dr. Mary Evelyn Tucker

Last Friday, over 80 people representing many faith traditions joined together for a luncheon and conversation with Dr. Mary Evelyn Tucker of Yale University and The Forum on Religion and Ecology.After enjoying beautiful and delicious vegan stuffed pumpkins catered by Joy Cafe, attendees were treated to an engaging and challenging discussion on Pope Francis' encyclical, Laudato Si. Arguing that this document is the most impactful of the last 30 years, Dr. Tucker spoke about its deep resonance with the current environmental movement. Scientists and activists are looking to the faith community for resilience and hope. Now is the time to join the movement! Dr. Tucker emphasized that together, as an interfaith community, we are stronger. Let us heed this powerful call to action, banding together in hope to bring forth a sustainable and resilient future!Please enjoy these photos from the luncheon. We hope to see you at the next GIPL event!
