Bainbridge Island Specials

“Climate change is a problem that can no longer be left to a future generation.” - Pope Francis. The recent October 27th panel discussion by five local clergy -- and their responses to the Pope’s recent encyclical on climate change -- help make us more aware how many clergy, especially on Bainbridge Island, have long stood up to address climate change among their congregations and in public. This podcast is a recording of “Faith and Climate Change — Do We Have a Moral Obligation to Act.” That topic was the subject of a panel of local clergy at Eagle Harbor Congregational Church on Bainbridge Island on Tuesday, October 27th. The event was co-sponsored by the Interfaith Council of Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap, the Bainbridge Island Citizens’ Climate Lobby, and Climate Action Bainbridge.
