Rabbi GLENN JACOB leads the New York affiliate of New York Interfaith Power and Light (IPL). It is an independent nonprofit (501C3) organization established in 2004. IPL represents over 110 communities of faith and thousands of individuals to be the moral response to climate change in New York State. Rabbi Jacob articulates the vision of the not-for-profit organization well, suggesting the need to care for Creation is upon us all, and that there is not a "single plot" of land in NYS that is not affected (negatively) by climate change.

He shared some of the challenges in front of New Yorkers, and many of the faithful responses, too.

While it is still available and not stripped of funds, if you would like to know more about support for clean energy improvements for your community of faith, house of worship, or other NFP ministry, check our the Inflation Reduction Act:

The Common Table Podcast UMC is supported by the Creation Justice Team (part of the UNY AC UMC General Board of Global Ministry) and Peace with Justice for Palestine/Israel (also UNY AC UMC). Our focus is on Creation Justice, Creation Care, and the urgent need for peace with justice—recognizing how climate change and war disrupts the health of the Earth and all living things. We seek to prayerfully respect and love the creation we were born into, caring for all that lives.

We invite you to join us for conversations rooted in justice and compassion. Every episode is produced by volunteers, and we publish as often as we are able.

Our mission is to lift awareness, foster education, and encourage faithful action within the human community—in the name of Christ.

Hosted by Rev. Dr. Robin Blair.
