Greater Washington Interfaith Power & Light (GW-IPL) works with hundreds of congregations of all faiths across the DC area to save energy, go green, and respond to climate change.
GW-IPL helps congregations educate, incorporating environmental concerns into worship, teaching, and preaching.
GW-IPL helps congregations go green, by supporting them in saving energy, re-bidding their electricity contracts, purchasing clean power, and shifting other aspects of their institutional purchasing and practices to minimize environmental impact.
GW-IPL helps congregations speak out as part of local and national advocacy efforts to protect Creation.
We are part of a network of local Interfaith Power & Light groups across the country. Together, we are building a national religious response to the climate crisis.
Our 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.
