Episcopal Priest to Discuss Religion and the Environment

Can religion save the environment?

That question will be the topic of a public lecture to be delivered Tuesday, April 5 at Raleigh's Meredith College by Rev. Sally Bingham, an Episcopal priest with California Interfaith Power and Light and The Regeneration Project, faith-based efforts to respond to climate change by promoting energy conservation and renewable energy. Bingham's talk will be held at 4 p.m. in Kresgi Auditorium at Meredith's Cate Student Center.

The following morning at 10 o'clock, Bingham will lead a worship service in Jones Chapel on Meredith's campus. And on Thursday, April 7 at 1:30 p.m., she will hold a talk with local religious and environmental leaders at Raleigh's Community United Church of Christ at 814 Dixie Trail. The talk will open with a showing of the Bingham-produced video “Lighten Up!” addressing climate issues, and then she will discuss whether to introduce The Regeneration Project to North Carolina though the N.C. Council of Churches’ Climate Connection program.
