The environmental issues we face stretch beyond the climate crisis and raise issues regarding things that the Community of Christ holds dear.  For instance, how we respond to environmental issues has a direct effect on the worth of persons... and often it’s the indigenous peoples of the land in question. In this episode of Climate Brewing, Susan Oxley hosts Dr. Karin Unger, a research fellow at the University of Queensland, to discuss the impact of mine closures on indigenous communities. With over 50,000 abandoned mines, many affecting indigenous lands, Dr Unger emphasizes the need for better policies and regulations to address these issues and the importance of making space for indigenous people in the conversations regarding just transitions.

We all make judgements about how people act or respond in certain situations or to certain circumstances ... ultimately deciding which is the “better” response or action. We can’t help ourselves. In today’s gospel passage from the Gospel of Luke, we find ourselves watching as two sisters respond differently to Jesus’ presence, and one of them tries to get Jesus to choose sides. In reality, we all respond to things in different ways, and one is not necessarily better than others... at least not always. Maybe, just maybe, there are times when there’s a less binary option where we can find common ground ... an option that respects everyone’s individual journey.

Not everyone agrees there is a climate emergency, but agree or not, we are seeing the results of global climate change, and those most affected are “the least of these.” At Community of Christ’s 2025 World Conference, there was strong support for resolutions that seek to address climate issues, and three resolutions passed with significant support. In this episode of Climate Brewing, host Susan Oxley sits down with previous guest and climate enthusiast Paul Bethel to get his response to the actions taken at that conference. Listen in for some eye-opening information that shows how the realization of the Church’s initiatives depends on our response... not just in legislation, but in real-life action.

Making the switch to renewable energy sources takes creativity, and there is still work to be done, but it is possible.  Join host Susan Oxley for a continuation of her conversation with Andrew Fellows about ways to respond to the climate crisis we are facing.  It’s not only the right thing to do, but it can actually save you money. This is coming from Andrew, who was the first in his community to step up, and who now has over a decade of proof showing how renewable energy can save money and move us closer to saving the planet. It’s definitely worth a listen, followed by consideration of how we can all be a part of the change.

“It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood.” At least once the Good Samaritan comes along. This week’s episode has Karin and Blake journeying with Jesus in the 10th chapter of Luke, and talking about what it takes to be “like a good neighbor...” Karin encourages us to emphasize hospitality as a counter to hostility, and rate ourselves on a five-point scale for compassion.  Where would you rank yourself ... hostile or hospitable?
