We are excited to offer another opportunity for community members to come together for a book discussion! You are invited to join a 3-part discussion of the book Saving Us - A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World by Katharine Hayhoe at the Richmond Congregational Church on three dates--September 18th, October 2nd and October 16th.
The discussion group will meet from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm, both in person (in the church parlor) and by zoom. You are welcome to join all three events or any one that works for your schedule. On September 18th, the group will discuss the first section and second sections pages 1-83.
Called "one of the nation's most effective communicators on climate change" by The New York Times, Katharine Hayhoe knows how to navigate all sides of the conversation on our changing planet. A Canadian climate scientist living in Texas, she negotiates distrust of data, indifference to imminent threats, and resistance to proposed solutions with ease. Over the past fifteen years Hayhoe has found that the most important thing we can do to address climate change is talk about it—and she wants to teach you how.
In Saving Us, Hayhoe argues that when it comes to changing hearts and minds, facts are only one part of the equation. We need to find shared values in order to connect our unique identities to collective action.
Please purchase a copy of the book or borrow a copy from your local library! A limited number of paperback copies will be available at the Richmond Congregational UCC at a cost of $15.00 each. Join us! And let us know you are participating, and/or want the zoom link sent to you, by emailing Jen Greenwood, RCC administrator at church@rccucc.org.
No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here.
