Barry Kastner will explore how events made climate change a personal reality for him. We have a natural tendency to denial, depression, or obsession about big bad things. At some point, right action must prevail. Tikkun olam is a Hebrew phrase that means “repairing the world” (or “healing the world”) which suggests humanity’s shared responsibility to heal, repair and transform. That’s the task ahead for all of us.
The presentation is at the Unitarian-Universalist Congregation of Columbus Indiana at 7850 W. Goeller Blvd on Sunday, Feb 9 at 10:00AM.
