722 | Climate Brewing | Rod Downing and Climate Advocacy in Community of Christ

“Well ... if nobody else is going to ... I will.” This was Rod Downing's response to a lack of conversation in the church (specifically in the Herald) about environmental issues. Rather than complain, he started doing something about it.  In this episode of Climate Brewing, host Susan Oxley pushes environmental and climate advocate Rod Downing to share how he brought his passion for the environment and his concerns over the climate crisis to the church, making it an integral part of his life and ministry in Community of Christ.
