This was a great event. I planned to attend to hear just the the first two speakers and stayed for the whole thing. There were several links provided to relate faith to action on global warming ( http://blogs.pioneerlocal.com/religion/ ). Many of the speakers do similar presentations in the community so be sure to look for them.
