Available Now - God's Creation Cries for Justice. Climate Change: Impact and Response
JustFaith Ministries announces the availability of an important education and faith formation study. In conjunction with the Catholic Coalition on Climate Change, we are offering this study module for use by faith communities.
The approach of the Catholic Coalition on Climate Change and Catholic Bishops’ Environmental Justice Program has been to focus on the themes of prudence, poverty and the common good, as well as Catholic Social Teaching. This module will expand and explore these principles and will have a strong emphasis on how climate change will impact the poor at home and abroad.
The eight week program will draw out other arguments for and against action and to demonstrate—in a faithful and scientific way—the hazards to poor people of doing nothing .
This module will include action items for stopping further global warming (mitigation) and what will be needed to help the poor who are impacted by climate change. A flyer for the module is available.

Available in April/May 2008. Prison Reform: The Church of the Second Chance.
The module, Prison Reform: Church of the Second Chance, will be available in late Spring 2008. It will consist of 8 sessions, with each session being 2 ½ hours in length. The module title comes from the latest book, Church of the Second Chance (Lantern Books, 2008), by the module developer, Jens Soering. Soering is an inmate himself and has done three other books while in prison, including the award winning The Convict Christ (Orbis, 2006). A flyer for the module is available here.
