ICCT Youth Leaders Gaining Momentum
Youth Creation Care Leaders, sponsored by ICCT, has been gaining momentum since its inception in 2023. Today there are two high school age leader groups serving Durham and Raleigh by offering youth-to-youth presentations on Creation care to groups in faith communities. The interactive programs have been very well received. Both groups welcome new youth members as well as contacts from faith communities wishing to schedule a presentation.

Season of Creation 2024
Celebrate
September 1-October 4
For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.
Romans 8:22, New Testament of the Christian Bible.
This verse inspired the theme of the 2024 Season of Creation – To Hope and Act with Creation. According to the Season of Creation website, the verse brings to mind “the Earth as a Mother, groaning as in childbirth. The times we live in show that we are not relating to the Earth as a gift from our Creator, but rather as a resource to be used. And yet, there is hope and the expectation for a better future. Hope does not mean standing still and quiet, but rather groaning, crying, and actively striving for new life amidst the struggles. Just as in childbirth, we go through a period of intense pain, but new life springs forth.”
Deepen your Season of Creation experience by taking advantage of these resources from many different denominations.
Get Out the Vote 2024
Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the U.S
Presiding Bishop Michael Curry doesn’t mince words. He says, “It is a Christian obligation to vote, and more than that, it is the church’s responsibility to help get souls to the polls.” At ICCT we believe voting and getting out the vote is a very important way for all people of faith and people of conscience, not just Christians, to live out our values and influence society for the good of all peoples and all Creation.
Read about the Theology of Voting here.
Get Out the Vote is the #1 ICCT priority this year because:
- A strong democracy is essential to enacting and maintaining effective Creation care policy, so we Get Out the Vote to protect and strengthen democracy.
- With very little time left to reduce emissions and species extinction, we Get Out the Vote now to avoid more catastrophic, even existential damages.
- This election will impact our response to climate change for many years to come, so we Get Out the Vote to ensure justice now and for future generations.
In November we don’t want to look back with deep regrets. So please join us as we partner with two non-partisan groups – the Environmental Voter Project (EVP) and the Center for Common Ground Reclaim Our Vote (ROV) – to bring postcard writing for GOTV to your congregation, community group or a group of your friends.
It’s totally doable! See the differences between the ROC and EVP campaigns in a side-by-side comparison in ICCT’s 2024 GOTV Manual. It’s updated regularly with the new campaigns rolling out and it offers guidance on how to obtain materials and host GOTV events. To help get the support of your congregation’s leaders, there is a 1-page document explaining these campaigns.
Religion, Ethics and Law Forum
Karenna Gore, Herman Greene, and Susannah Tuttle
FORUM ON RELIGION, ETHICS, AND LAW IN A TIME
OF PLANETARY CRISIS AND POLITICAL DECLINE
Religion is what binds us together. Ethics is what guides us. Law is how we order our lives in relation to society—a society now including non-human beings, ecosystems, and future generations of all species
The FORUM ON RELIGION, ETHICS, AND LAW IN A TIME OF PLANETARY CRISIS AND POLITICAL DECLINE was sponsored by Binkley Baptist Church in Chapel Hill and presented there on April 20, 2024. It was co-sponsored by Interfaith Creation Care of the Triangle among other groups. Speakers included national thought leaders Karenna Gore, William Barber, III, Herman Greene, and moderator Susannah Tuttle. Respondents were Neil Cruz and Ren Martin.
Recap of the 2024 Convention
Celtic Symbol of the Spirit
The Spirit-filled ICCT Action Traction Convention
Reverend Megan M. Pardue set the stage by reminding us that “hope is not a thing you feel, but a thing you do.” To keep from despair and maintain hope, she suggests that we “sow the seeds together” and “sow the seeds even when you don’t feel like planting.” See Megan’s inspirational message on the ICCT YouTube channel.
Over 90 people sowed a lot of seeds, together, on January 27. If you missed it, or if you lost your notes, or just want a refresher, we have the full story.
I enjoyed the excellent meeting yesterday. I like to attend meetings that provide new thought-provoking information. It gave me ideas of what our church might be able to do….

ICCT Announces Results of Earth-Friendly Practices Survey
Many of our faith communities have responded to a survey detailing their earth-friendly practices. We are happy to present the collected responses, along with a dynamic map locating the congregations that have responded.
Reflecting the Sacred Through Our Creation Care Practices
Today, as the climate crisis calls us to consider what it means to be good stewards of creation, it also asks us to consider how that sacred care can be reflected in where we worship and what we do there. Earth care practices are bubbling up throughout the 90 ICCT faith communities—from solar installations and upgraded HVAC systems to rain gardens and prayer services. From the modest to the more elaborate, all of these matter.
If you feel called to engage your congregation in creation care work, or if your community is already doing such work, we want to hear from you! Take our Earth Friendly Practices survey. You can also reach out to other faith communities via our contact form: learn about their projects, and share information and expertise. Join us!
Youth Leaders Initiative 2023
High school youth and their adult leaders from NC Triangle faith communities are invited to participate in the Youth Leaders Initiative (YLI) sponsored by ICCT and NC Interfaith Power & Light. For more information, please contact Liz Becker at ICCTliasons@gmail.com.
Twenty-two youth and their adult leaders participated in listening and planning sessions during the summer of 2023 so the youths’ interests and ideas about Creation care could help determine the direction of the YLI.
Rishi Ranabothu has joined YLI leaders Ren Martin and Liz Becker (see them in the photo above, from left to right – Ren, Liz and Rishi). He is serving as a leader and mentor to YLI youth. A Hindu from Cary, NC, Rishi is 18 years old and a rising sophomore majoring in Biostatistics at UNC-Chapel Hill. He has always been an advocate for Creation Care, but realized he needed to do more after a 2016 visit to India where he traveled through a mix of wondrous natural beauty and heavily polluted regions. Back in the US, he started with small steps at his local temple and worked with NCIPL to involve other youth and congregations in bigger projects. The group evolved into the Youth Leadership Initiative and he led it for 5 years before attending college. Upon learning about the renewal of the YLI, he reached out to ICCT and NCIPL to offer his help.

ICCT & ONE Wake on Energy Efficiency
As a matter of environmental and economic justice, ICCT is committed to making energy efficiency equity an integral part of affordable housing for low-income residents. To that end, twenty people in the ICCT network spoke up at ONE Wake listening sessions this spring to share concerns about rising energy utility bills that are estimated to double within the next 6 years.
As hoped, at the June 8, 2023 Internal Assembly, ONE Wake members voted to continue their focus on affordable housing and add a research and action subcommittee to address unaffordable energy costs. ICCT leaders have joined the subcommittee to help find ways for low income households to decrease energy consumption through access to IRA and IIJA federal funding rolling out soon for repairs, insulation, weatherization, high efficiency heating and air conditioning, and renewable energy. If you are in the Wake County area, you’re invited to join us on One Wake’s Affordable Housing Research Action Subcommittee.
Planning for Season of Creation 2023
The Season of Creation this year will be celebrated from September 1 to October 4. Its theme is Let Justice and Peace Flow based on verse above in the Book of Amos 5:24 in the Christian Bible. The season is an excellent opportunity to weave inspirational Creation care messages into worship and education programs at your congregation. The Season of Creation Celebration Guide will help you learn more about the season and plan to celebrate. Ecumenical faith leaders from across the world have shared their reflections and others have prepared a 6-minute video to invite you to take part in the season. The Season of Creation website has more resources, including webinars and prayer services, sample flyers, social media channels and more.
Urban Forestry & Racial Justice Discussion
“Building Capacity” is Critical for Urban and
Community Forestry Projects in our Communities
Seventy people – in-person and on zoom – tuned in for the Urban Forestry & Racial Justice Panel Discussion on May 11, 2023. A recording is available here. It was a collaborative effort by Interfaith Creation Care of the Triangle, the Central NC & Cape Fear Region Citizens’ Climate Lobby Chapter, Carolina Jews for Justice, and Temple Beth Or’s Tikkun Olam Environmental Sustainability Subcommittee.
Whether you attended or not, you can urge your public officials to take action by clicking here. Use a sample message to easily email your municipal and county leaders to let them know about the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) funding coming soon for urban forestry projects in underserved communities.
If there was one solid take-away from the discussion, it was that “building capacity” is essential – if we want to connect underserved communities with the $1.5 billion in the IRA’s urban and community forestry funds. But what does “building capacity” mean for the lay person who wants to help?
Earth Care Practices Survey for Faith Communities
Since its inception, ICCT has held the firm belief that together, faith communities will make a powerful impact on the growing climate crisis. Happily, earth care practices at the 78 ICCT faith communities are bubbling up everywhere. To learn from and inspire each other, ICCT’s Earth Friendly Practices Action Team has created a survey for Triangle congregations.
Youth Leaders Initiative
Twenty-two youth and their adult leaders participated in listening and planning sessions during the summer of 2023 so the youths’ interests and ideas about Creation care could help determine the direction of the YLI.
