The 1st EcoTeam met on Sept 14,2008 for the first time under Joe DeLeon’s leadership. The committee charged with developing a “Intro” class for Sunday Schools reported on their work. Under the heading of “God, Nature, and Humanity” they presented their outline which consists of: 1. The Biblical Basis. 2. Sustainability. 3. Current issues. and 4. An Invitation to Join 1st Ecoteam. This is the first in a series of classes that will be available under the name Environmental Stewardship Series.
Others we hope to include in the series are: Global Warming: The Science (Glen Suhren), Theological Perspectives (Tom Downing), Competing Interests: The Future of Energy (John Ozmun), Conservation (Joe DeLeon) and one on Health and Pollution (teacher to be determined).
Tom Downing and John Holbrook will also be doing an upcoming “First the Word” presentation on what the end of the world might be like — to complement their earlier class on what the beginning of the world might have been like.
We brainstormed ideas on possible activities for the coming year. Several of the ideas seemed to come together around the notion of an EcoFair. Susan Holloway volunteered to cochair that effort.
For a complete list of the brainstormed ideas, see the full meeting notes at http://www.garyduke.com/oo/ecoteamnotes.html/ (user: libstaff, password: libstaff)
Our next meeting will be Sunday, Oct. 12 from 12:30 - 2:00 pm (probably in the Patio). Bring your own food or wait till later.
