ICCT 2025 Convention: Grounded in Hope
It’s with grateful hearts that 110 of us gathered during a time of anxiety and loss in the light-filled Parish Hall of Chapel of the Cross (Chapel Hill) on September 20, 2025 and experienced words of hope, palpable energy, and reconnection with nature on a walk in the adjacent Coker Arboretum.
In Jerusha Neal’s keynote presentation, “Grounded Hope in the Face of Ecological Loss,” she looked deeply at the impediments to hope and the promises of hope.
In John Morrison’s main presentation, “Causes for Optimism in the Energy Transition,” he highlighted actions we can take to hasten the transition. If our government won’t lead the way, then we as individuals and communities of faith can!
