We want your community of faith to nominate up to three delegates to attend the Southeast Faith Leaders Network climate justice training Sunday-Tuesday October 27-29 at Christmount Retreat Center located near Asheville, NC. This training is a pre-event for a larger Southeast Faith Leaders Network event in 2020. Please turn in this application by September 6, 2019. Participants will be notified of their selection the week of September 9. We are especially interested in faith leaders working for environmental justice.
Participants in this training can expect the following outcomes:
* Get oriented to faith-based resources for your climate justice ministry

* Be able to articulate ways fossil fuels and fossil fuel infrastructure pose a threat to your local community

The Southeast Faith Leaders Network will invest in taking your climate justice leadership to the next level. We ask you to invest three days of your time and a registration fee of $100.
