The Climate: Social, Material, Moral-Spiritual Sunday Forum Series Part 1:
April 26
11:15am After Service
More than Earth’s physical climate is changing. So, too, is the social and moral-spiritual context and climate. This 3-Sunday series, led by Environmental Ethicist Larry Rasmussen, addresses where we are and how we got here, as well as what our constructive responses might be. (A handout will be provided at the first meeting with key summaries and discussion
materials, suggested readings, etc.)
The Material (or Planetary) Climate
“Climate change” is a symptom of more far-reaching, and more consequential, changes. Most neglected, and most important (for New Mexico!), are changes to and in the oceans.

The Social and Moral-Spiritual Climate (Part 2 of Series)

What happens to the planetary climate intimately impacts society, and vice versa. This week, our attention goes to the moral-spiritual challenges to Christianity. They are deep, since they reach back to the nation’s founding and now find a new intensity and influence in the Christian nationalism of office- holders Hegseth, Vought (Project 25), Mike Johnson,and Sen. Josh Hawley.
The Climate at This Moment ( Part 3 of Series)
May 10
