Never heard of it? Well that is what the blog is for!
Interfaith Power and Light (IPL) is "mobilizing a religious response to global warming in congregations through the promotion of renewable energy, energy efficiency, and conservation." That is the official language from the national website. From our biblical view of things, you can simply think of it as "being good stewards of creation." Or, the evocative image I like to throw out to people is simply churches, synagogues, and mosques with solar panels on their roofs or wind-turbines in their parking lots!
IPL started a dozen years ago and has affiliates in 34 states right now. Surprisingly, Arizona has been a bit late getting into the action (I says surprisingly because, well, have you seen how much sun we get!) but we have a Steering Team in place to help get Arizona IPL up and off the ground. By the way, I've started serving on that Steering Committee...if you were wondering why I was there!
Want to know more about this great group and how they are seeking to help religious communities put their faith into action? Then check out these links:
