Letter to Congress June 15th, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Charles Schumer Speaker of the House Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Senate H-232, U.S. Capitol S-221, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress, As leaders from many diverse faith traditions, we are united in our call for a bold economic recovery and infrastructure package that creates family and community sustaining jobs while caring for our climate and our neighbors. It is the moral responsibility of our nation, and our sacred task as people of faith, to protect our ecosystems, work for environmental justice and public health, and address the climate crisis. We urge you to support historic levels of investment that will safeguard Creation, address the impacts of climate change and pollution from fossil fuel extraction and related industries, and fulfill our moral obligation to leave a habitable world for future generations. Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) and low-income communities have been hit the hardest by the triple health, economic, and environmental crises we face. The needs of these communities must be at the center of any infrastructure package. As we move from COVID relief to economic recovery, this moment offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in the clean energy future while addressing the injustices of the past. We can achieve that by: Expanding clean, renewable energy and modernizing our electric grid We can accelerate the transition to clean energy by passing a national Clean Energy Standard that achieves 100% renewable, pollution free electricity by 2035, while also expanding investments in wind and solar power. Electrify transportation and expand public transit Now is the time to invest in American-made electric vehicles, build charging stations across the country, and make sure they are affordable to all. We can also connect our communities and reduce pollution by electrifying and expanding public transit. Clean water infrastructure for all communities Too many communities, especially in low-income urban neighborhoods and in Indigenous communities, don’t have access to clean water. We must invest in lead pipe remediation, as well as programs that provide clean water to rural communities. Invest with justice BIPOC and low-income communities have been harmed the most by both this pandemic and our centuries of investment in fossil fuel infrastructure. Our understanding of justice demands that these communities must be at the center of our investments going forward. Specifically, we call for these communities, forced to bear an unequal burden of pollution and pandemic, to receive at least 40% of the investments. Additionally, to ensure a just transition, we must support dislocated workers and investment in communities historically dependent on fossil fuels. Sincerely, Estimados miembros del Congreso: Como líderes de muchas tradiciones de fe diversas nos unimos a hacer un llamado por un paquete robusto de recuperación económica e infraestructura que cree empleos que sostenga familias y comunidades mientras se toma en cuenta a nuestro clima y a nuestros vecinos. Es la responsabilidad moral de nuestra nación, y es nuestra tarea sagrada como gente de fe, proteger nuestros ecosistemas, luchar por la justicia ambiental y la salud pública, y enfrentar la crisis climática. Les exhortamos a apoyar niveles históricos de inversiones que preservarán la Creación, enfrentarán los efectos del cambio climático y de la contaminación a causa de la extracción de combustibles fósiles y de industrias afines, y a que cumplan con la obligación moral que tenemos de dejar un mundo habitable para las generaciones futuras. Las comunidades negras, indígenas y de otros grupos étnicos y raciales marginados, así como las comunidades de bajos ingresos, han sufrido la peor parte de la crisis triple de salud, economía y medioambiente a la que nos enfrentamos. Cualquier paquete de infraestructura debe enfocarse en las necesidades de estas comunidades. Mientras hacemos la transición del alivio del COVID a la recuperación económica, este momento nos presenta una oportunidad única en nuestra generación para invertir en un futuro de energía limpia a la vez que atendemos las injusticias del pasado. Podemos lograr esto al: Expandir la energía limpia y renovable y modernizar nuestra infraestructura eléctrica Podemos acelerar la transición a la energía limpia si se aprueba un Estándar de Energía Limpia que logre una electricidad 100% renovable y libre de contaminación para el 2035, mientras también se aumentan las inversiones en energía eólica y solar. Electrificar la transportación y aumentar la transportación pública Este es el momento de invertir en vehículos eléctricos hechos en los Estados Unidos, construir estaciones de carga en todo el país y asegurarse de que son accesibles a todo el mundo. También podemos conectar nuestras comunidades y reducir la contaminación si electrificamos y expandimos el transporte público Infraestructura de agua limpia para todas las comunidades Demasiadas comunidades, especialmente aquellas en vecindarios urbanos de bajos ingresos y las comunidades indígenas no tienen acceso a agua limpia. Debemos invertir en reparar las tuberías de plomo, así como en programas que provean agua limpia a las comunidades rurales. Invertir con justicia Las comunidades negras, indígenas y de otros grupos raciales y étnicos marginados han sufrido la peor parte tanto de esta pandemia como de las décadas en las que hemos invertido en infraestructura de combustibles fósiles. Nuestra visión de lo que es justicia exige que estas comunidades sean el enfoque de nuestras inversiones futuras. Hacemos un llamado específico para que sean estas comunidades las que reciban al menos un 40% de estas inversiones, ya que han tenido que soportar un peso desigual de la contaminación y de la pandemia. Asimismo, para asegurar una transición justa debemos apoyar a los trabajadores desempleados e impulsar las inversiones en comunidades que históricamente han dependido de los combustibles fósiles.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-41607-8 - Self and Salvation: Being Transformed David F. Ford Frontmatter More information Self and Salvation Being Transformed This eagerly awaited book by David F.Ford makes a unique and important contribution to the debate about the Christian doctrine of salvation. Using the pivotal image of the face, Professor Ford offers a constructive and contemporary account of the self being transformed. He engages with three modern thinkers (Levinas, Jüngel and Ricoeur) in order to rethink and reimagine the meaning of self. Developing the concept of a worshipping self, he goes on to explore the dimensions of salvation through the lenses of scripture, worship practices, the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the lives of contemporary saints. He uses different genres and traditions to show how the self flourishes through engagement with God, other people, and the responsibilities and joys of ordinary living. The result is a habitable theology of salvation which is immersed in Christian faith, thought and practice while also being deeply involved with modern life in a pluralist world. David F.Ford is Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge, where he is also a Fellow of Selwyn College and Chairman of the Centre for Advanced Religious and Theological Studies. Educated at Trinity College Dublin, St John’s College Cambridge, YaleUniversity and Tübingen University,he has taught previously at the University of Birmingham. Professor Ford’s publications include Barth and God’s Story: Biblical Narrative and the Theological Method of Karl Barth in the Church Dogmatics (1981), Jubilate: Theology in Praise (with Daniel W.Hardy,1984), Meaning and Truth in 2 Corinthians (with F.M.

  • The Development of the Church of God Abrahamic Faith
    6 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHURCH OF GOD ABRAHAMIC FAITH The Development of the Church of God Abrahamic Faith: 1845-1921 JAN STILSON, B.TH., B.S., M.A.L.S. Introduction Gary Land of Andrews University wrote, “After Christ failed to come in 1844 the Millerites splintered into several groups.”1 It is with those groups that we wish to begin and one of those groups will be the focus of this article. The non-Millerite groups that emerged after the Bitter Disappointment were primarily those who had not attended the Albany Conference, called by William Miller to salvage the splintered Adventist movement. The people who formed these groups had been part of the Adventist movement, but now wished to disassociate themselves from it. It might also be noted that the Millerite movement did not fail because “Christ failed to come.” Christ had not failed; rather, men erred by setting dates for his return. What were these groups? Several historians have defined and discussed them2 but this article is principally interested in the emerging groups as detailed by LeRoy Froom. Froom identifies three movements arising out of the Adventist movement: 1. The inheritors of the Millerite tradition, the Advent Christians; 2. Extremists from New England who eventually disappeared; 3. The Seventh Day Adventists who gained strength through the visions of Ellen White. I contend that there is a fourth branch, which Froom alluded to but did not thoroughly discuss. This branch began as the Age to Come movement, also 1 Gary Land, “Strangers Together: Adventism’s American Experience,” Newsletter of the Adventist Movements Historical Association, Pilot Issue 1993, Morrow, GA: Atlanta Bible College.

  • ABBC 2016 Annual Report
    IMPACT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ANNUAL REPORT 2016 ATLANTA BETTER BUILDINGS CHALLENGE One of my proudest accomplishments as Mayor of Atlanta is the tremendous success achieved through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge (ABBC). The Office of Resilience has partnered with businesses and nonprofit organizations to implement a comprehensive, voluntary program to increase energy and water efficiency in our building stock. The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge invites participating building owners to commit to a 20 percent reduction in energy and water use by year 2020. With more than 114 million square feet of building space and more than 600 buildings pledged, Atlanta has earned its spot as a leader on the efficiency scoreboard. Since 2011, this successful public-private partnership between the City of Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, Livable Buckhead, Midtown Alliance and Southface has positioned Atlanta as a national leader in energy and water efficiency. We surpassed our water reduction goal five years ahead of schedule, and we’re quickly closing the gap on our energy goal, having already reduced our portfolio’s energy consumption by 17 percent. Through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge, participants are saving money on bills now, while helping to ensure a more resilient future for all Atlantans. This program plays a pivotal role in furthering Atlanta as a top-tier city for sustainability. We hope to inspire other cities by our achievements and lead by example as we continue to make big strides in reducing our energy and water usage. Thanks to our participants in the Challenge. Sincerely, Mayor Kasim Reed INTRODUCTION | 03 IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR BUILDINGS 20 PERCENT BY 2020 The goal of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Resource conservation efforts not only support the City’s Challenge is to improve the efficiency of commercial, sustainability efforts and lead to a cleaner and healthier institutional, industrial, and multifamily buildings by 20% or place to live and work, but the dollar savings achieved more by 2020.
