Transforming Our Communities to Meet the
Future First National Training and Workshop
January 21, 2012, 8:30
am to 4:30 pm
United Church of Chapel Hill
In the coming years, peak
oil and climate change will challenge our communities to adapt to new energy
choices, new ways of making
decisions, and new relationships of support. The popular and mostly secular Transition Town movement promotes building
resilience with local food, transportation, and systems of communication. In
the midst of planning for a just and abundant future, can our local
congregations also prepare for change and provide leadership and inspiration?
What are the gifts we have to offer to our communities, and do we invite all
our neighbors to become members of The Beloved Community?
Tina Clarke, an experienced Transition Town trainer from New England, and Rev. Jim Deming, UCC
Minister for Environmental Justice, will combine their experience and skills to
bring an all-day workshop to faith leaders, lay and clergy, in North Carolina to help form Transition
Congregations. They will present the ideas, processes, and opportunities to
transform the internal and external ministries of congregations to become ready
to embrace an uncertain future.
Space is limited so register early. Go to
