[Film trailer]
This award-winning film features two women from Malawi, Anita – an activist, and Esther – from the Presbyterian Church of Malawi, who come to the U.S. to let American farmers and politicians that climate change is real and how it is affecting real people. This is a great educational opportunity that aligns with our Matthew 25 vision, illuminating the intersectional concerns about climate change and poverty. The evening is hosted by the Presbyterian Hunger Program and the Office of Public Witness.
All Presbyterians, and especially Hunger Action, Earth Care and Matthew 25 congregations, are encouraged to join this online screening. Attendance is free and you must register in advance.

Connecting the Dots: Militarism and Moral Injury Webinar
2022-11-09 12:00 - 13:30
Military personnel are asked to serve on behalf of our country, laying their lives on the line to follow military directives. The impact of this service on personnel and their families can be great, therefore military action should never be used prematurely. By confronting militarism, the church is called to challenge an ideology that prioritizes military responses and unjustifiably endangers the lives of civilians, personnel and their families. As well, the church is called to offer genuine support for all those impacted by war and military action.
In this webinar, Connecting the Dots: Militarism and Moral Injury, we hope to hear of the impact military service has on active personnel, veterans, and their families, and how the church can offer better support to these communities. We will be hearing from veterans, academics, and psychologists, who all have experience in the field of study that has been termed “Moral Injury”, examining the impacts of military service and the effect that can occur “in response to acting or witnessing behaviors that go against an individual’s values and moral beliefs.”
