Invitation to November 23 Discussion of Faith-based Nonviolent Climate Action
I am writing to invite you to join members of Ottawa faith communities for a discussion on nonviolent direct action as a response to the climate emergency.
The discussion will be held on Thursday, November 23 from 7-8:30 pm at the Ottawa Quaker Meeting House at 91a Fourth Ave (East of Bank St).
People of faith have played a key role in many nonviolent action campaigns to address and overcome injustice, often at great sacrifice to themselves.
With the survival of future generations threatened by the fossil fuel-driven climate emergency, thousands of people - including many people of faith - are rising up and nonviolently resisting the business-as-usual destruction of creation.
Please join us on November 23rd as we start a discussion, and discern together, whether - and how - we, as people of faith in Ottawa, feel called to respond to the climate emergency.
Please RSVP here - and share this invitation with members of your faith community.
Peace and blessings,
Rev Dr. Jessica Hetherington (United Church of Canada)
Eric Schiller (Quaker)
Michael Polanyi (Unitarian)
Francine Portenier (Last Generation Canada/On2Ottawa)
