As they live out their commitment to care for creation, women's religious communities have become leaders in local land conservation. To mark this monthlong Season of Creation, EarthBeat and Global Sisters Report will host a virtual conversation with Sr. Verónica Méndez, former president of the Institute of Our Lady of Christian Doctrine and Beth Piggush, integral ecology director for the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, who represent two religious communities that have made different decisions about how to preserve their land for future generations. The session will be moderated by Brian Roewe (EarthBeat) and Chris Herlinger (Global Sisters Report), and will accompany a series of articles about how religious communities are making land-use decisions, which will begin September 27 on EarthBeat.org and GlobalSistersReport.org.
