Is God Green?
A Symposium on Faith and the Environment
April 10, 2008
This symposium will open with a presentation by Lyndsay Moseley of Sierra Club’s
Environmental Partnerships Program/Faith Partnerships. This will be followed by a panel of
representatives from the religious, environmental and academic communities who will discuss
the reasons for this heightened interest in environmental issues, the motivations and roles of
religious groups in affecting environmental policy, and how these potential political realignments
impact the larger policy formation process.
