Honor the Earth develops these resources by using music, the arts, the media, and Indigenous wisdom to ask people to recognize our joint dependency on the Earth and be a voice for those not heard. LaDuke is also the author of several books, including Last Standing Woman, All our Relations: Native Struggles for Land and Life, and Recovering the Sacred: The Power of Naming and Claiming. Parking is free. For more information contact Deb Olsen, 651.255.6168. The Picard Lectures in Environmental Theology and Ethics are supported by an endowment made possible through the generosity of United alumnus The Rev. Frank Picard and members of the Picard family. The purpose of the lectureship is to explore questions and issues concerning the state of the creation from theological and ethical perspectives. The lectureship seeks to raise questions such as the relation between our spiritual life and the state of the natural world and the response of religious leadership to the decline of the planet. In establishing the endowment, the Picard family especially wishes to remember the deep appreciation for God’s creation they shared with the late David and Roland Picard. Lecturers have included Larry Rasmussen and Judith Scoville. Would you like to be on a mailing list for any of these lecture series? Send us your name and address. Contact Information |
