A recorded Quaker minister, Cherice Bock worships with North Valley Friends in Oregon (USA) and is published widely, including books, blogs, journals, and websites. In this talk she will share the stages in her life journey that have led her to minister through writing on social justice, climate change, and our Quaker response. Cherice sees climate and environmental justice issues and their connections to colonialism, racism, and gender as the most important call to Quaker activism and education in our time. After her presentation to us, there will be time for a discussion with all those online.
Cherice Bock is the author of A Quaker Ecology: Meditations on the Future of Friends, that was published by Barclay Press in 2022. Advance reading from part of this book may be helpful to those joining us on the day. You can read sample pages online.
