Connecting Ecological Healing to Racial and Economic Justice

Hear from our students:

“Climate change is the defining issue of our time. PLTS has demonstrated its commitment to meeting this kairos moment by creating a revolutionary climate justice concentration, but also working with me to help fit the program into my busy schedule. It’s the balance of the personal and global that sets PLTS apart.”

Regina Banks
—PLTS MDiv Student with Concentration in Climate Justice and Faith

“The climate justice and faith concentration helped me further form my vocation. It challenged me to think deeper and broader about God’s divine justice-seeking love; how to share it and how to see it in the world around.”

Rev, Kaylie Inez
— PLTS MDiv Graduate in Concentration in Climate Justice and Faith

“The reality of climate change is fast becoming a crucial issue in Nigeria, change in rainfall pattern and drying streams is posing challenge to faith and religious community. I seek to be equipped in raising ethical and theological discussion on climate actions.”

Kolade Fadahunsi
— Director of Institute of Church and Society- Ibadan, Nigeria

“I have learned and grown much through my relationships with those in my cohort who share the realities of how the climate crisis has impacted their lives, and I’ve been inspired by the ways they have helped heal their communities. The Certificate program at PLTS has provided me with many tools to use to discover faith responses to the climate crisis.”

Larry Ryan
— retired high school teacher, member of Delaware-Maryland Synod Creation Care Team

“Working with others from different geographical locations has brought much more comfort from knowledge that we are not alone in the pursuit of climate justice. I regard being part of the cohort as a privilege and opportunity to tap from the vast knowledge and experiences of others which in turn enriches my knowledge and broaden my perspective.”
