I'm praying especially for former Moderator Bill Phipps this morning, as he is half way through his two week Fast for Courage for climate justice.

As Bill said in a recent blog posting: "Endless consumption of the Earth, our only home, is no longer possible.... We need a new paradign for our economic future. Climate change needs to be addressed seriously NOW."

Our gratitude for your witness, and our prayers are with you, Bill.

A past moderator, Bill Phipps, wrote a book "Cause for Hope". In it he makes the point that people (we) live by the stories we tell. He even makes the point that for us to change the future is rather easy; all we have to do is change the story! Assuming that he is right, this would be an interesting tool for us to use. We could begin by contemplating what our society is like and then make the connection with the foundational stories we tell.
