The Friendship Collaborative connects scientists and evangelical Christian leaders in a dialogue about climate change, the related loss of biodiversity, and the living creation.
The Friendship Collaborative comes at a time when traditional religious communities are focusing on the need to care for creation. Through face-to-face workshops that stress interaction and dialogue, the Friendship Collaborative helps scientists and religious leaders learn from one another and build widespread national support for environmental stewardship. Visit the Friendship Collaborative website at www.friendshipcollaborative.org for more information, plus resources and materials for those who want to initiate workshops in their communities.

In the same issue, Dr. Marah Hardt explains how we are not disconnected from our watery world as we may think, in "The Ocean Revealed."
