-How would you describe your job/leadership role (one phrase)?
Bridge-builder, educator, organizer, and advocate for God’s creation;
-What one or two things most motivated you to get involved?
I am motivated by the sense that God is at work, calling our generation to reclaim our identity as stewards of all that God has made. Responding to this call means renewing a fundamental commitment to the two most important commands of our faith—to love God, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
I am also motivated by a sense of urgency. If we take seriously our calling to be stewards of the Earth, with special care for vulnerable populations—the poor, elderly, children and non-human creatures—we must act quickly to address the threats of global climate change which will disproportionately impact these communities.
