The intersection of faith and climate change

Climate change has taken hold as a hot discussion topic over the past few years. Recently, members of Utah's various faith communities held a panel discussion to talk about climate change. Daniel Gomez of Congregation Kol Ami, a Salt Lake City synagogue, was quoted about the intersection of faith and climate change in an article in The Salt Lake Tribune:

'Our ancestors walked for 40 years in the wilderness,' he said. 'We were not in temples or beautiful buildings. God spoke to us in nature.'

No matter what a person believes about how the world was created or what forces are above, what surrounds us...should inspire awe, the panelists suggested.

It is up to us to reverse the trend of climate change, to protect the beautiful nature that God has provided for us to enjoy and experience Him.
