Team Purple: Scholars

Go to book study
Go to signup form

The Scholars, or Team Purple, include those who engage with creation care through scholarship: intellectual, theological understandings of creation care.

Some might be interested in hearing and understanding the 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. This group may bring in speakers, panels, discussion groups, or read books or view movies for discussion.

Scroll down for info on current book studies, and to sign up for a mailing list to get the Zoom link for upcoming meetings!

Book Study – Wednesday, June 29


The book for our June study is Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest by Suzanne Simard.

We’ll meet both in person and virtually on Zoom at 6:30 p.m. on June 29.

Sign up for the Team Purple email list below, and you’ll receive the Zoom link for this and notification of future upcoming meetings when they become available!

If you’d like to give some love to our local booksellers, look for books for our book studies at The Raven or Signs of Life here in Lawrence! (The Raven has curbside pickup, or if you’re in Lawrence, they even offer free delivery to your doorstep.)

If you’re a fan of audio books, consider trying Libro.fm where you can tie the account to a bookstore of your choice. A better alternative to Amazon-owned Audible.
