In this episode, we’re talking with three members of the 7 Calls to Climate Action working group; Katie Goerzen-Sheard, Mark Bigland-Pritchard, and Nelson Lee. Join us for a conversation about the climate crisis. What kind of emergency are we actually in? What role do Christians and the church have in addressing the situation? And what do we do when we’re not all on the same page?

The 7 Calls to Climate Action was put forward by a diverse group of Mennonites from across Canada who believe that “it is too late not to act” in regards to the climate emergency. Since their appeal was presented to the Mennonite Church Canada Joint Council & Executive Staff Group, over 600 others have signed on to these calls.
