Rev. Fred Small's Creation Coalition - Be a Political Force for Climate and Environmental Justice

from Unitarian Universalist: The UU Perspective · host Sharon Marrell

From Full Time Minister to Persuing his Passion for Climate and Enviornmental Justice. Founder of the Creation Coalition, Fred Small begins gathering the masses for the political force that will bring about change.   As a singer/songwriter you'll hear his performance  of an all-time favorite among many ensembles, Everything Possible.   Bio: Honored by Bill McKibben as “one of the key figures in the religious environmental surge,” Rev. Fred Small is the founder of the Creation Coalition, a new organization to mobilize people of faith as an irresistible political force for climate and environmental justice. Senior Minister of First Parish in Cambridge, Unitarian Universalist, since 2008, Fred is also a singer-songwriter and environmental lawyer.  One of the first to engage in civil disobedience to draw attention to climate change, he was arrested with 21 others in prayer outside the US Department of Energy in Washington, DC, in May 2001.  In March, 2007, he was a lead organizer of the Interfaith Walk for Climate Rescue from Northampton to Boston, Massachusetts. Grist Magazine has named him one of 15 Green Religious Leaders worldwide. Favorite Quote: “When conditions are sufficient things manifest. When conditions are no longer sufficient things withdraw. They wait until the moment is right for them to manifest again.”--Thich Nhat Hanh Links: Creation Coalition website Questions about the Creation Coalition: [email protected] Listen to more songs on the Fred Small Music Page on Facebook   Final Credits: music thanks to: "Carefree", "Open Those Bright Eyes", "Sweeter Vermouth" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
