Nature and the Black Church: Healing Together

In this episode, Green The Church Founder Rev. Dr. Ambrose Carroll explores the intersection of environmentalism and the Black Church.

Broadcasting from his native Oakland, California, he highlights the city’s rich history of activism and cultural contributions while addressing pressing issues such as climate change, environmental justice, and the resilience of urban communities.
