This weekend congregations will host preach-ins on climate change

This program, intended for Christians from 18-30 years old, will take place in conjunction with the 2011 United Nations climate negotiations. After a two-week training and immersion program in Durban, South Africa, the youth will begin projects of their own in their home countries.
