Jan Booher, a representative from Unitarian Universalist
Ministry for Earth will be speaking at the Unitarian Universalist Church of
Brevard on Sunday June 21st, 2185
Meadow Lane Melbourne Florida at 1:00, helping us celebrate the installation of
our solar panels. She is a leading Progressive in the Boca Raton/ Miami area and we are honored to have be with
us on this happy day.
Jan Booher is a Board Member of The Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship of Boca Raton (UUFBR), where she chairs the Climate Change Working
Group. Last year, this group formed a community effort to promote citizen
support for the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Action Plan (RCAP).
This year her efforts have been focused on building an
advocacy network of both UU and other groups in Southeast Florida, that is
cooperating to support the local, state, and federal agendas articulated by the
Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact.
Jan is cooperating with others to organize actions and
community outreach efforts that help residents of Southeast Florida make the
connection between climate change and the increased flooding, beach erosion,
and saltwater intrusion into our water supply. She is also working with others
to create Florida Earth Festival ( http://www.floridaearthfestival.com/ ) a
celebration of the people, products, policies, and services that are moving us
toward sustainability. The absence of love is fear. My hope is that by reaching
out in love, and sharing a fun and exciting view of a sustainable world that
includes arts that inspire, delicious food, and exciting technology; people
will move out of fear and embrace love of Earth. We must see what we might
become, so we may chart a course.
From Jan: Love life… it’s far more fragile than we think. Breathe! Hold each other. All efforts to heal ourselves, and
all efforts to heal the world, are one and the same. We must reach inward to
connect with our life's purpose, and when we are thereby connected to the
healing life force, we have the strength and the hope to work outward to create
connections between people, among the peoples of the world, and between people
and Earth.
