Climate Change in Mythical Time

Sunday, March 19, 2023 at 11:00am Rev. J Sylvan

We like to say we live in “unprecedented” times due to climate change, but the idea of humans affecting the earth on a large scale is nothing new. We see stories of the earth responding harshly to human overreach in many mythologies, legends, and parables. What can they teach us in our current climate crisis?
