Featured Congregations & Newsletters Press Releases Media Coverage

 

CIPL produces an e-newsletter that contains updates and information about programs, events, legislation and global warming. CIPL also honors member congregations seasonally to acknowledge the exemplary steps they have taken to help address climate change. If you do not have an email address, we will mail your copy. Additionally, seasonal mailers with holiday ideas, sample sermons and theme materials (e.g. youth, health and environmental justice issues) are sent out three times per year. If you would like to be on our email list, please contact us at (415) 561-4891 or info@interfaithpower.org
