Theme: Making a Difference
FOSTERING GREEN RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES – CALIFORNIA INTERFAITH POWER AND LIGHT & BEYOND

WORKSHOP SUMMARY
California Interfaith Power and Light (CIPL) was born in San Francisco in January 2001. Rev. Sally G. Bingham, an Episcopal priest, and her colleagues called all religious traditions to be faithful stewards of Creation. After working with thousands of congregations in California, a national expression of the ministry took off, The Regeneration Project. We will hear the story of how one’s priest’s inspiration has sparked a new level of grassroots environmental activism in American religion. And you and your faith community will be challenged to join the movement!
