This two-part exploratory space will include a period for reading and reflection, with resources and an online forum for discussion provided between sessions.
Session 1
Participants will deepen their knowledge of the connections between peace and climate justice and will have space to explore what living out these commitments means to them.
Charlotte Cooper will introduce Militarism and climate breakdown as a new focus within Quaker Peace and Social Witness's core work. We will explore the wide-ranging links between these issues, and how working for peace and climate justice are therefore inextricably intertwined.
Session 2
We will reconvene to address any questions or concerns that may have arisen in the intervening time. Then move into a worship-sharing space of deep reflection, perhaps moving towards discerning our next steps.
We will also be joined by grassroots speakers (TBC) involved in witness. Offering insight, inspiration and an invitation to support this new, growing community of action.
The live Zoom sessions are at 19:00-20:30 (UK time) on Wednesday 7 August and Tuesday 10 September.
