Green Sanctuary Action Group

Congregants formed the Green Sanctuary Action Group to educate the congregation about the threat of global warming and to promote action that reduces our dependence on non-renewable energy sources.

The Green Sanctuary Group is participating in the UU Ministry for Earth Green Sanctuary Program. We promote alternative transportation, green investing, and support green businesses. The Green Sanctuary Group participates in the annual Earth Day Service that takes place in April.

If the primordial religious gesture is dependence that fuels gratitude, then our modest attempt to repair the world comes because
we have been filled to overflowing with life and find it cannot be contained within the skin of our bodies or the circumference of our
souls. If religion begins in thanksgiving, it ends in service.

--Rev. Richard S. Gilbert, from the book The Prophetic Imperative
