AIN and ACEN highlight indigenous voices on the environment

23 November 2020

Throughout Advent, the Anglican Indigenous Network and Anglican Communion Environmental Network are offering a series of four weekly webinars, bringing perspectives from Indigenous communities across the Communion on the planetary environmental emergency. Contributions will come from Aotearoa and Polynesia (week 1), Amazonia (week 2), Africa (week 3) and the Arctic (week 4).

Described as “a lament in the present and a vision for living well”, the sessions will look at both the current reality facing communities and draw on Indigenous wisdom for shaping a prophetic vision of a better future.

Each week, a 45-minute video from one of the regions will be presented, followed by discussion.
