The Reverends Anita Schell and Rachel Field will offer an overview of An Episcopal Path to Creation Justice. This presentation will offer practical skills for building a transformative culture of climate justice in your parish setting that is rooted in anti-racist organizing principles.
FACILITATORS: The Reverend Rachel Field lives on a small regenerative farm in a cold hollow in the Green Mountains of Vermont surrounded by maple, ash, and hemlock. She is the Program Manager for An Episcopal Path to Creation Justice as well as the Priest Associate at St Mary’s in Northfield Vermont. She has been leading retreats in the Episcopal Church for 20 years and has a deep love of working with the more-than-human world to deepen relationships with Christ and heal from internalized racism. When she’s not gardening or wrangling chickens, she can be found curled up with a good book (probably the Lord of the Rings) and her cat, Eowyn.
