The theme for the fourth annual Earth Summit is “A Future with Hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). To ground and inspire us as people of faith in difficult times, the Jim Antal Keynote Lecture will be delivered by the Rev. Dr. Kenneth Samuel, a renowned advocate and organizer for justice who serves as the pastor of Victory for the World Church in Decatur, Georgia.

This two-and half-hour summit will additionally feature a panel discussion entitled “Power to the People: Energy Justice for an Equitable Future.” Celebrations at the summit will include the announcement of the winners for both the Dollie Burwell Prophetic Action Award and the Climate Hope Art Contest for children and youth. Moreover, we will recognize our newest Creation Justice Churches and our first Climate Hope Affiliates.

Cohosts for the summit include the National Setting of the United Church of Christ and First Congregational Church of Atlanta.

The summit is jointly sponsored by the five financial ministries of the United Church of Christ: Cornerstone Fund, Church Building and Loan Fund, Insurance Board, Pension Board UCC, and United Church Funds.
