All are welcome to join us on Thursday, June 19, 6-7pm, via Zoom.

Pope Francis’ Prophecy

Jonathan Safran Foer writes in the official newspaper of the Vatican, L’Osservatore Romano:

Ten years ago, Pope Francis released Laudato Si’, a document that was startling not only for its moral clarity, but its astonishing foresight. As we mark its tenth anniversary, it is clear that Laudato Si’ was not merely an encyclical, it was a prophetic cry that foresaw the deep ecological and human crises we now urgently face. Laudato Si’ was ahead of its time, uniting science, spirituality, and social justice in a way few global leaders had the courage, or vision, to do.

In our June Care for Creation GREEN Team Meeting, we’ll focus on Jewish Responses to Laudato Sí with a specific focus on how a number of Jewish organizations and rabbis – especially in the USA but also beyond – have welcomed Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato Sí‘, and linked it to Jewish teachings on ecology.

We look forward to you joining our Laudato Si’ conversation. Thank you! Please join us on ZOOM https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86181574570; Meeting ID: 861 8157 4570; call in: 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC).
