LDR: Resiliency through Faith and Place
February 5 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Online Training via Zoom
Special Guest: Reverend Deacon Mary Sanders and Natalie Bennett
Join Reverend Deacon Mary Sanders of Community Lutheran Partners for a conversation about her work with the American Geophysical Union (AGU). She and Natalie Bennett, PhD student in Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado, are collaborating on a project to build community flood resilience through faith and place in Tucker County, West Virginia. They were brought together by a grant through the AGU’s Thriving Earth Exchange community science program. Natalie and Mary seek to use congregations as hubs to strengthen community through story-telling and to help build intentional theologies that encourage resilience.
