The Letter: A Message for Our World
This moving film explores the effects of climate change on the societies most vulnerable to flooding from rising sea levels or melting glaciers, or to drought and fires. The late Pope Francis brought together people of diverse faiths, cultures, nations, and continents by sending them a personal letter inviting them to the Vatican (Hawaii, India, Senegal, the Amazon.) There, they investigate possibilities for change and resilience. Their conclusion: What affects one of us affects all of us. A brief discussion to explore next steps will follow, and you can enjoy vegan snacks.
