Please join us for our next Sacred Earth webcast with Dr. Cynthia Moe-Lobeda, a renowned global scholar, and Professor of Theological and Social Ethics. She serves as a GTU (Graduate Theological Union) consortial faculty member with joint appointments at both Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary and Church Divinity School of the Pacific (CDSP). She has lectured or consulted in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and many parts of North America in theology; ethics; and matters of climate justice and climate racism, moral agency, globalization, economic justice, public church, eco-feminist theology, and faith-based resistance to systemic oppression. Dr. Moe-Lobeda founded the Center for Climate Justice and Faith at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary to empower leaders in cultivating moral, spiritual, and practical power for the work of climate justice in communities of faith and in collaboration with others.

Dr. Moe-Lobeda’s current writing project is a series of seven volumes addressing the urgent need for a new economic system, one which heals from predatory economic life to an economy of life abundant for all, for which she will write the introductory volume and engage other authors in the subsequent six. The title is “Building a Moral Economy – Equitable, Ecological, and Democratic: Roadmaps for People of Good Courage.”

We are also joined by returning, three-time Grammy-nominated musician and vocal activist, Melanie DeMore, who states: “Life is for the seeking and sharing of light, joy, and deep love for what moves you.” Melanie has a remarkable voice, weaving the fibers of African American folk music with soulful ballads, spirituals, and her own original music. DeMore has served on the faculty of St. Paul’s School in Oakland, and is a founding member of the critically acclaimed vocal ensemble Linda Tillery and the Cultural Heritage Choir.
