Description

The legend of St. Francis and the Wolf raises questions about our attitudes toward other species and a connect to climate change. 
OUTLINE OF KEY IDEAS
1.  a gift of this stay at home season: slowing our lives down to consider the things that truly matter.
2.  This is a time of hope.
3.  Example:  Kit Carson Rural Electric Coop  (New Mexico)
4.  Example:  Penn State University
5.  Solving the climate challenge requires technological efforts and a change in the human heart.
6.  Set in the town of Gubbio, Italy, a town besieged by a vicious wolf, St. Francis brokers a respectful path between the wolf and the townspeople.
7.  Bottom line:  We need the Earth to provide for us, and the Earth needs us to change our attitudes, our hearts.
QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION
Do you think humans can solve the technological challenges of a changing climate?
Do you think humans need to make a heart change about their attitudes and behaviors toward the Earth and all it's species?
Where do you have hope that humans CAN make this heart change?
