Book/Film Study Videos

Below are the videos from FBC Earthworks Team Purple’s book/film study discussions. Beginning in 2024, the group meets quarterly on the last Wednesday of the month to discuss books or other media covering philosophical and intellectual ideas of creation care, including land sustainability, use of chemicals and pollution, species protection, global racism and the impact on the Global South, and climate change. Learn more about Team Purple, FBC’s Earthworks Psalm 8 collective, and the other Earthworks teams. Or, click the button and complete the form to get the Zoom link and be put on a list for email notification of future studies!
