Faith in Tomorrow: Speaking Out for our LA Climate Week
Across Los Angeles, faith and contemplative communities are already responding to climate — through teaching, service, advocacy, and care. Congregations, temples, mosques, gurdwaras, and sanghas are witnessing its effects in the communities they serve: in rising heat, in food and water insecurity, in the displacement of neighbors.
This day is for the leaders who speak to those communities directly.
Faith in Tomorrow brings together clergy, imams, rabbis, ministers, monks, granthis, and ordained leaders from across traditions for a working day of peer exchange — focused on one shared goal: bringing climate into the spaces where you already have a voice.
Through roundtable conversations and cross-tradition dialogue, participants will:
Share how they are already addressing climate through their teachings, texts, and tradition
Explore language and frameworks rooted in their own doctrine — stewardship, khalifa, tikkun olam, dharma, sewa, ahimsa, care for creation
Learn from peers across denominations and faiths
Build practical approaches for speaking to their communities, one to many, on the moral dimensions of our climate moment
Every tradition brings its own language for our relationship to the earth, to one another, and to those who come after us. This day creates space for all of it.
No single framework is imposed. No tradition is centered above another. All are invited to bring their own texts, their own teachings, and their own community's experience.
Who Should Attend
Faith in Tomorrow is designed for clergy, imams, rabbis, ministers, priests, monks, granthis, and ordained or authorized faith leaders who speak regularly to a congregation or community.
Lay leaders, deacons, board members, and community organizers are welcome to attend alongside their ordained counterparts. We encourage faith communities to come together — those with the platform and those working to shape how it's used.
