NCC Biennial Conference:
Eco-Justice for All: God's People, God's Planet
June 1-4, 2006
Loyola University, New Orleans, Lousiana
Pre-Conference Offerings:
- New Orleans Impacted Communities
Tour (offered by New Community Project)
- Environmental Justice Workshop (offered
by Sierra Club)
- Volunteer Community Clean-up (Coordinated with
United Methodist Committee of Relief) Wednesday, May 31, 9am-5pm
Are you interested in getting your hands dirty and using your
physical presence to embody your moral support for the rebuilding
of New Orleans? We will spend our day together deconstructing
and gutting a home. Personal protection equipment and tools will
be provided. You will need to wear work clothes (long pants and
long sleeves) as well as sturdy boots. The cost of this opportunity
will be minimal-- just enough to cover food or incidentals. Housing
Tuesday night will be on your own (with possibility to lodge together).
Please contact Rebecca Barnes-Davies for more details: prc@sfts.edu
or 415-451-2826

tour of New Orleans (Sponsored by All Congregations Together)

We are planning a tour of New Orleans for conference participants
interested in learning more about the environmental aspects of
New Orleans, including the environmental injustices and the post-Katrina
impact. This tour will return in time for lunch on your own before
