Episode 51 - Conversation with Rev. Derrick Weston, Director of Theological Education and Formation @ Creation Justice Ministries

All about Creation Justice Ministries and their upcoming Transformative Leadership Program. 

Creation Justice Ministries (formerly the National Council of Churches Eco-Justice Program) represents the creation care and environmental justice policies of major Christian denominations throughout the United States. We work in cooperation with 39 national faith bodies including Protestant denominations and Orthodox communions as well as regional faith groups, and congregants to protect and restore God's Creation.

CJM’s Transformative Leadership Program is for church teams who want to transform their faith communities into active climate action leaders by equipping and inspiring their congregations to adopt meaningful and effective practices for creation justice. The Transformative Leadership Program is a free opportunity for congregational teams to participate in a 3-day, in-person workshop that combines climate communication, practical theological approaches, and community organizing tools to equip leaders in shaping their church’s relationship to creation justice.
