Rev. Sally Bingham to speak
October 27, 2005 Ministerial Alliance meeting

St. Patrick's Episcopal Church, Kenwood Reverend Sally Bingham from the Episcopal Cathedral in San Francisco will be the featured speaker on Thursday, October 27, at a meeting of the Santa Rosa Ministerial Alliance. Rev. Bingham has played a major role in organizing California Interfaith Power and Light, a statewide organization of over 300 congregations of all faiths that have committed to reducing conventional energy use and the threat of global warming.

All congregations now face sharply higher energy bills. Evidence continues to mount of climate change that is believed to contribute to major events such as Hurricane Katrina and severe droughts and floods.

Several local churches have installed or are evaluating solar systems to reduce costs and emissions. Representatives of three local area solar firms will attend the meeting to answer questions and provide background information.

Ann Hancock, Director of the Climate Protection Campaign in Sonoma County, will also give some brief remarks on the goals and achievements to date of this Campaign.

Please contact the St. Patrick's office if you are interested in attending, (707) 833-4228 or info@stpatskenwood.org
