Rev. Fletcher Harper — A Greener Faith

"I think God wants all of us to be as fully, lovingly, and compassionately alive as we possibly can be, and I think the beauty, wonder, and awe of the natural world helps evoke our better and stronger selves."


The Rev. Fletcher Harper is GreenFaith’s Executive Director. A pioneer of the global religious environmental movement, he helps spearhead the faith-based fossil fuel divestment movement, organizes faith turnouts at major climate mobilizations, and is a co-founder of Shine, an international campaign that supports women and community-led renewable energy access initiatives in Africa and India. He is the author of GreenFaith: Mobilizing God’s People to Protect the Earth.


In this episode, we discuss Greenfaith, its vision, and why a sacred understanding of the earth is necessary for the climate movement. We also cover Fletcher's experience at COP26 in Glasgow and learn more about him as a person, reverend, and activist.


"Our faiths call for a different kind of social order that's based on compassion, love, justice, and generosity. If we think that's naive and unattainable, I would ask people, 'Why do you have faith in the first place? Why can't we work to make a world like that?'"
