In October we were so fortunate to have a Movement Café featuring the good work of United Methodist institutions of theological education in relation to creation justice. We learned about the creative and difference-making curricular and co-curricular programs at four of our United Methodist schools of theology—Boston University School of Theology, Drew Theological School, Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary, and Methodist Theological School of Ohio. Their programs are representative of excellent creation justice work being done at United Methodist institutions of higher education worldwide. Read on in this newsletter to see the details of the significant work being done at these four seminaries taking the lead in creation justice theological education.

At the Movement Café, we also learned about the newly created United Methodist Higher Education Climate Justice Network being coordinated by the GBHEM Leadership, Education, and Development (LEAD) Hub in the United States. This network cultivates collaboration among United Methodist colleges and universities in relation to climate justice to enhance their climate justice related coursework, co-curricular programming, and research. To learn more about this network, see Facebook  and UM Higher Ed. Climate Justice Network.  Your continued support and engagement with the climate justice work of our United Methodist institutions are greatly appreciated.
