For Love of God and Nature: Climate Vigil Songs with Peter Fargo and Isaac Wardell | Ep. 61

In this episode I’ll be talking to Peter Fargo, co-founder of the Climate Vigil movement, and Isaac Wardell, co-founder of the Porter’s Gate arts collective.  We’ll discuss the collaborative project created by these two organizations--a new Christian worship album called Climate Vigil Songs. This album (which we’ll sample in this conversation) invites us to respond to climate change in ways that are meant to help us engage the challenges we face from spiritual perspectives, and even to understand creation care and earth advocacy as acts of worship.
