Commitments of Eco-Justice

This podcast is from the worship service live streamed on March 21, 2021. Rev. Brian Sauder outlines the commitments of Eco-Justice that are practiced by Faith in Place in their daily work to advance environmental justice. Rev. Brian Sauder serves Faith in Place as the President & Executive Director (www.faithinplace.org). He was the Policy Director and organizer of the Springfield office until Rev. Clare Butterfield resigned in 2015. The entrepreneurial vision and confident leadership of Rev. Sauder is growing the impact of Faith in Place's mission to empower people of all faiths across Illinois to be leaders for cleaner environments and healthier communities. Rev. Sauder's passion is empowering faith communities across Illinois to take measurable steps to connect the dots between faith, environmental justice, poverty, mass incarceration, race, violence, class, and health. The theme for March is what it means to be a people of commitment. To read about our theme-based ministry, please visit http://www.unitytemple.org/faith-development/soul-connections on our website.
