Beyond the Headlines: Climate Justice
Tuesday, September 15, at 7:30 p.m. EST
Join World Renew, Thrive, and the Centre for Public Dialogue for Beyond the Headlines, a bi‑national justice education webinar series.
This session explores climate change as a justice issue, highlighting its impacts on hunger, displacement, and inequity, and examining pathways toward climate adaptation, mitigation, and a just transition to clean energy. Grounded in biblical creation care, participants will be invited to challenge common myths and imagine faithful responses that protect vulnerable communities and our shared future.
Beyond the Headlines: Gender Justice
Tuesday, November 17, at 7:30 p.m. EST
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.
Cultivating shalom: Faithful Responses to Food & Climate Justice
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.

Faith-rooted ABCD Community of Practice
Bi-monthly on the 4th Tuesday at 2 p.m. EST
This Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of faith-rooted individuals working in the areas of mercy, justice, and community development, who have a desire to learn from, network with, and share stories, experiences, tools and challenges with one another. Using Asset Based Community Development principles, the Faith Rooted ABCD CoP will discover faith as an asset as we build on the strengths in our neighbourhoods and communities. Learn more.
