Forum: Divesting from Fossil Fuels--From Congregations to Kitchen Tables

From religious congregations to universities to kitchen tables nationwide, people are debating divestment.  Burning fossil fuels is the largest single contributor to human-caused climate change.  If it is wrong to disrupt the planet's life systems, is it wrong to profit from such destruction?  Should we get rid of our investments in the fossil fuel industry?  All are invited.  

Presenters:  Rev. Rev. Dr. Jim Antal, Minister and President of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ.  Cindy Davidson, Unitarian Universalist Ministry for the Earth Board Member.  Chuck Collins, Senior Scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies.  Leslie Samuelrich, President, Green Century Capital Management.  Sponsored by Massachusetts Interfaith Power and Light, whose mission is providing a faith-based response to climate change.
