SUMMARY:Black Churches Leading with Solar: Incentives\, Financing\, and Stewardship
DESCRIPTION:With the federal government paying for at least 30% of the cost of solar installation\, if not 40 to 50%\, many congregations that own their own building can no longer afford to not go solar. One of the benefits of going solar is a lower electricity bill\, which means an increase in churches revenue. An increase in revenue is an increase in security and ministry. It is also a way to show good financial and environmental stewardship. Yet\, the upfront cost of going solar can often be a hurdle for some congregations. This is where advantageous financing can play an important role. In this webinar\, we focus on Black churches leading with solar. We will hear experts discuss everything one needs to know about government incentives and solar financing. \nThe Rev. Michael Malcom from the People’s Justice Council and the Rev. Dr. Ambrose F. Carroll from Green The Church will host this webinar that will feature these panelists: \n-Dr. Anthony Kinslow II\, CEO\, Gemini Energy Solutions \n-Patricia Eggleston\, Trinity United Church of Christ\, Chicago \n-Rebecca Perera\, Chief Credit Officer\, Cornerstone Fund \nEven if one cannot make the webinar at its scheduled time\, all those who register will receive a link to a recording of it. \nCo-Hosted by the United Church of Christ\, Green The Church\, the People’s Justice Council\, and Alabama Interfaith Power & Light. \nCo-Sponsored by Blessed Tomorrow\, Creation Justice Ministries\, Green Chalice of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)\, Interfaith Power & Light\, Third Act Faith\, Unitarian Universalist Association\, and United Black Christians.

SUMMARY:Gaza Today: Perspectives from Palestinian Christian Partners
DESCRIPTION:As Israel’s war on Gaza continues\, more than 34\,000 Palestinians have been killed in the past seven months\, many more are injured\, and thousands are unaccounted for. Most of the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza are suffering starvation\, desperate for medical care\, and are displaced from their homes and communities which have been targeted and destroyed. \nOur Palestinian partners remind us that the history of crisis in Gaza did not begin on Oct. 7\, 2023. It is a history that goes much deeper. \nJoin us in this webinar to hear from partners who are deeply involved in serving the community in Gaza and speaking with clarity on what is required. Nader Abu Amsha is the Executive Secretary of the Middle East Council of Churches’ Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees. DSPR has been present in Gaza for three-quarters of a century and continues to serve its community in Gaza despite the many challenges. The Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac is pastor of the Christian Lutheran Church in Bethlehem and Dean of the Bethlehem Bible College. He has spoken to the world\, challenging mainstream framing of the war\, and urging Christians to engage authentically. They will share a perspective not generally heard.
