SCJ Caring for Creation Conference, March 7-9, 2008

So often the word “green” is thrown around in reference to the environment. This coming spring, Mount Sequoyah Conference Center is not just using the word, but doing something about it.

            March 7-9, 2008, Mount Sequoyah is holding the first annual SCJ Caring for Creation Conference in Fayetteville, Arkansas.  This conference is not only to make people aware of environmental issues and offer creative solutions, but it is also to help them recognize and fulfill their responsibility for stewardship in creation and how environmental care is a natural part of being a Disciple of Christ.

The keynote speaker will be Dr. J. Matthew Sleeth, author of Serve God, Save the Planet: A Christian Call to Action. Plenary speakers will be John Hill from the United Methodist General Board of Church and Society and Oikos Provost Mark Davies, Ph.D. from Oklahoma City University. Leaders from Interfaith Power and Light, the Creation Care Movement, UMW Green Team, and other experts will lead twelve different workshops and discussions with topics covering a wide variety of environmental issues from Community Food Initiatives, More than Energy and Green Buildings, to How to Start a Green Team.

Come to Mount Sequoyah in March and learn how to help your community and congregation realize their role in caring for God's creation! Early discount registration deadline February 1.
