Take The Climate Justice Ministries Survey

Take The Climate Justice Ministries Survey

The California-Nevada Climate Justice Ministries Task is here to equip our annual conference to respond to the challenges and injustices of the climate emergency. We are approaching this in four ways: climate justice through faith-inspired connection, education, advocacy, and action. Right now, as we seek connection with those doing this work, we would like your help with completing a brief survey.  Survey Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SRSXV82 

We are circulating this survey to assess which churches have green teams or are active in creation care or environmental/climate justice ministries, which churches and individuals want to know more, and how people concerned about climate justice would like our Task Force to assist them. We have received over thirty responses so far, and the answers are shedding light on where our pastors, administrators, members, and churches are in relation to this issue—including some happy surprises. We are beginning to compile the results of the survey so far and will publish an initial summary when we get it done. We are keeping the survey going for a time to gain more information. It would be helpful if you would fill one out as well.
