Every winter I am reminded how visceral my need for light is. Through seasonal gatherings, I am also reminded how vital the support of a hopeful, active community is to me.
In climate change work, Pennsylvania Interfaith Power & Light is that hopeful gathering place. We do not need to toil away lit by just our own small spark of hope. Knowing that there are others – nearby and across a map-fold from us – responding to climate change specifically as people of faith allows us to do much more. Yes, we give each other practical help – but when the sparks from our individual efforts join to shed a greater light, we gain deeper spiritual encouragement as well.
