Our Moderator, the Right Rev. Dr. Kimberly Heath states “We, humans, are but one strand in a web of life, and only one being among many relations. The land and waters are not resources to be exhausted. We need to be leaders that seek balance, repair relations and live with respect in creation today and for seven generations.” Your Social Justice Collective reminds you that in addition to the 22nd being Earth Day, the 24th is World Immunization Day and the 25th is World Malaria Day. We are so privileged to live in a country where most immunizations are free – take advantage of it!
