The Mission and Social Justice Committee (M&SJ) invites us to take the whole month of April to celebrate Earth Day (April 22) and appreciate this perfect planet: conserve some wildness; humbly take a knee; touch the earth; acknowledge the legitimacy of Native peoples who know much about living sustainably on this planet. M&SJ has identified the Ohkteau Cultural Center, located on the grounds of Double Edge Theater, as a local organization we choose to support. So, in honor of Earth Day and Earth Month, and in honor of our Native Americans, the congregation is encouraged to watch Red Power Energy, a 56 min. documentary film, which is distributed by American Public Television (APT). APT describes it as “a provocative film told from the American Indian perspective that reframes today's complex energy debate."
