Rev. Canon Sally Bingham Asks “Is Climate Change a Religious Issue?”

The Rev. Sally Bingham, Episcopal Priest and Canon for the Environment in the Diocese of California, will provide the opening keynote address for the “Faith, Science and Climate Action” conference in Bozeman on October 12. Bingham is the founder of the Regeneration Project, which initiated the Interfaith Power and Light Campaign summoning religious communities of all faiths to respond to the climate crisis. The IPL now includes a national network of more than 18,000 congregations with affiliated programs in 40 states.

Bingham was one of the first religious leaders internationally to profess the deep links between faith and the environment, and to define attention to climate change as a moral imperative. In her keynote address, Bingham will share her personal journey as well as the work of IPL to take action nationally. “Regardless of your religious practice, faith communities around the world have texts and scriptures that directly guide the actions they can and must take together to address the global climate issues of our time. Collectively we can build an extraordinary movement.”

Rev. Bingham has been recognized internationally for carving a path and voice to religious action, including awards from U.S. EPA, the World Wildlife Fund, the Audubon Society, and Life Time. Scores of national media outlets, including The New York Times, Oprah magazine and Scientific American, have published stories about Rev. Bingham and IPL’s work. She was named as one of the 50 most powerful women religious leaders by the Huffington Post.

Sally Bingham’s talk is free an open to the public at the Emerson Cultural Center Crawford Theater, 7:15 p.m. More information can be found at the conference website at https://www.fscaconference.org.
