Helping Coastal Congregations Respond to Environmental Challenges

Beth Remmes, from Georgia Interfaith Power and Light, shares how her deep spiritual grounding shapes her work in environmental justice and emotional resilience. As a facilitator of Active Hope and a leader within GIPL’s Four Directions Fund, Beth draws on faith not just as inspiration—but as a call to action. She explores how spiritual communities can move from ecological grief to collective healing, and how storytelling rooted in belief can mobilize change. Her work reminds us that sustainability isn’t just technical—it’s sacred.
