The Leader’s Guide for this Advanced Lay Servant Course includes lesson plans for five two-hour sessions to help lay servant ministers learn more about climate justice, how to talk about climate justice using a biblical and theological framework, and how to work with their communities to do meaningful ministry around creation care.
This course utilizes the book Climate Justice: A Call to Hope and Action [Second Edition] as a text.
