By February, do you think you might be ready for inspiration and rejuvenation away from daily tasks? Are you curious how Christians can make a difference in the world around us? Would you like to meet other people of faith who work to restore God’s Creation?
Presbyterians for Restoring Creation (PRC) would like to invite you to our first Southeast Regional Conference being held on beautiful St. Simon’s Island, Georgia, February 15th–17th, 2007. Our call to cherish and foster the renewal of God’s creation has inspired the coming together of several experts in the field of conservation, eco-justice, and biblical foundations for an educational event on the Stewardship of Land and Water.
Our plenary speakers include Carol Johnston who served on the PCUSA Eco-Justice Task Force and authored a primer on biblical and theological foundations for ecojustice; Sally Bethea, executive director of the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, who was named among the “Best Eco-warriors” by Atlanta Magazine and is one of the top 100 Most Influential Georgians listed by Georgia Trend Magazine; and Rand Wentworth, President of the Land Trust Alliance, who won the Visionary Regional Leadership Award from the Atlanta Regional Commission for his work in creating a 160 mile greenway along the Chattahoochee River. Staff from PCUSA, regional riverkeepers, and representatives from organizations such as The Nature Conservancy will provide informational and training workshops.
Join us on this journey of faith. If you are unable to attend the full conference length consider joining us for a special luncheon plenary session on Friday with Rand Wentworth.
