For this year’s summit, the Jim Antal Keynote Lecture will be delivered by Katharine Hayhoe, one of the world’s leading climate scientists and the author of popular books such as Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World and A Climate for Change: Global Warming Facts for Faith-Based Decisions. Through television appearances on PBS and Showtime as well as her widely viewed TED Talks, Hayhoe has reached a broad audience with a compelling perspective on science, climate, and faith.

This two-and half-hour summit will additionally feature a panel discussion entitled “Climate Justice in a Toxic World.” Three grassroots leaders in the struggle against environmental racism in the Dallas-Fort Worth area will speak on this panel: Dr. Marsha Jackson from Southern Sector Rising, Caleb Roberts from Downwinders at Risk, and Emmanual Davis from Justice for Joppa.

The summit will also feature the announcement of the Dollie Burwell Prophetic Action Award winner and a celebration of the UCC’s newest Creation Justice Churches.

Cohosts for summit include the National Setting of the United Church of Christ, the UCC Council for Climate Justice, the South Central Conference of the UCC, and First Congregational United Church of Christ in Fort Worth, Texas.

Sponsors include United Church Funds and the Cornerstone Fund.
