Bring a green speaker or program to your congregation!

sermonThe DC area is blessed with many skilled speakers whose environmental work is rooted in their faith tradition, and with passionate environmental educators who know how to share green skills and enthusiasm with diverse religious groups. Now, we have gathered together a "menu" of over a dozen speakers and teachers who are willing to offer guest sermons, text studies, adult forum presentations, youth group programming and skills workshops on environmental themes in our congregations.
Browse a list of the wonderful teachers and preachers who've joined our Speaker and Program Bureau here. (Requested honorarium for each presenter is listed under each description.)
To schedule a speaker for your congregation, or to suggest someone we should invite to join the roster, email us: joelle@gwipl.org.

Great Light!
Through a new partnership between GW-IPL and DMF Energy Group, your congregation can take three steps towards better stewardship:

• Undertake a professional retrofit of your building’s lighting infrastructure that will
reduce your energy use 15-35% and shrink your carbon footprint;

• Shift a portion of your remaining energy bill to support clean power generation;

• And free up the money saved by both reducing electricity use and paying lower electricity rates to do more of your congregation’s good work.

Is cash tight for your community right now? You may be able to participate in the Great Light program without any initial capital costs beyond your regular energy bills.

Learn more about Great Light here [pdf].

In the Washington DC area, Interfaith Power & Light is a project of the InterFaith Conference of Metropolitan Washington.
Since 1978, IFC has been bringing together the diverse religious communities in the DC area to promote dialogue, understanding, and a sense of community. Eleven faith communities, from Baha'i to Zoroastrian, collaborate through IFC to deepen understanding and to build a just community in metropolitan Washington.
