After decades of strengthening policies for environmental justice, the federal government has recently removed information on it from federal websites, and an executive order terminates support for any ‘environmental justice’ programs, funding, or activities. This is a good opportunity for exploring what the term really means and how should we think about reaffirming (and perhaps deepening) our commitment to it as a community.
Worship Leader: Courtney Humphries
Courtney Humphries is a science writer, journalist, teacher, and interdisciplinary scholar interested in how we navigate science, nature, and society in a changing climate and an urbanizing world. She is a Visiting Assistant Professor in Environmental Studies at Boston College, where she teaches about urban environmental justice, climate change, and environmental journalism.
We welcome you, whoever you are, whatever tradition, gender, race, class, sexual identity, ability, or age you represent. May you grow in the ways of respect, service, and wholeness. And through all your days may you know that you are loved.“
We are a lay-led congregation, meaning services and spiritual leadership are provided by community members rather than a designated minister. This reflects our commitment to shared ministry, where all members participate in roles such as worship leading, pastoral care, social justice work, and other community activities.
