Join World Renew, Thrive, and the Centre for Public Dialogue for Beyond the Headlines, a bi‑national justice education webinar series.

This session explores gender justice by examining how cultural narratives, power structures, and theological assumptions sustain inequity. Through a biblical and justice‑oriented lens, participants will consider how gender justice intersects with economic inequality, migration, food security, and climate change, and reflect on practical steps for advocacy, allyship, and transformation within faith communities.

We explore food and climate justice through the voices of 13 leaders—including Indigenous leaders, pastors, farmers, and non-profit staff—from across the U.S., Canada, and Kenya, who share their insights and expertise.

The series will help you understand our relationship with creation, the intersection of that relationship with our faith, and a Christian response to food and climate justice. It’s our hope that it motivates people of faith and faith communities to take action.
