You are invited to a Conference on
"Water: Sacred and Profaned"
Water is sacred, essential for all life. Used as a sacrament in various religions, it is an expression of divine love. But now, Earth’s waters are being profaned. Our premise is that water should be held in trust for the common good and not monopolized, privatized, or sold as a commodity. Access to water is a basic right of humans and all living things.
During this Conference we will explore our relationship to Earth’s sacred waters through presentations, shared discussion, Native American drumming, song, film, and ritual. Speakers will highlight the growing scarcity of fresh water, water as a right, people’s movements to defend water, and the need to preserve water for humans and all living things for all generations. They will discuss various spiritual perspectives and practical approaches to local, regional, and global water issues. Lunch will be provided.
“Water: Sacred and Profaned” is being sponsored by Earth Justice Ministries, Church and Society Committees of Nevada City and Grass Valley United Methodist Churches, Unitarian Universalist Church of the Mountains Social Action Committee, the Peace & Social Justice Committee of the Grass Valley Friends Meeting, and Pax Christi of Nevada County.
Admission is by voluntary donation from $0 to $25. For information go to www.earth-justice.org. To register email water@earth-justice.org or call 274-1320.
