| Justice in a Changing Climate
 On May 20, 2007, at the semi-annual Congregational Meeting, the primary
topic of discussion was a proposed initiative on Global Climate Change.
The proposal was introduced by Gary Smith, Tom Young and Grady McCallie
who presented a slide
show on the subject to those present. The proposal
was unanimously accepted.
Justice in a Changing Climate
- Global warming is real and will be a disaster for everyone, rich
and poor.
- We desire to learn about climate change and to better understand
its potential impacts.
- We desire to act to slow climate change and decrease its negative
impacts on all humans.
- We desire to share the journey with other congregations.

Why CUCC and Why Now?
- We see climate change and the environmental and human suffering
it causes.
- We see that this change will likely have its largest impact on the
poor.
- We see that environmental issues can divide rich and poor, and climate
change solutions can overlook the impact on the poor.
- We see an increasing need for creative conservation and creative
leadership to find solutions that work for the earth and all humans,
rich and poor.
- We see CUCC’s long history of social justice leadership.
- We see that CUCC has a critical mass of leaders, interest in environmental
protection and financial resources to support the work.
